A somewhat sleepy town
In a nutshell
Worth stopping on your way to the Islands
PeterVancouver Says: The Tsawwassen ferry terminal is built on a man made island connected to the mainland by a 2km man made causeway. Work commenced on the terminal in 1959 and the first sailing was in 1960.A great trip to take on a hot summers day is the Ferry from Tsawwassen Terminal to...
Carmanah Says: Centennial Beach at low tide is certainly worth the effort of timing correctly. At low tide, the beach spans for miles away from the shore, literally. As you can see in the picture, at low tide, the beach is broken up into flat sandbar and saltwater channels. It's within...
PeterVancouver Says: About an hours drive from Tsawwassen, is the North Shore of Vancouver, where there are three major centers for Skiing, snowshoeing, and many other mountain pasttimes. For those who dont ski, then try snowshoeing between December and March as it requires no previous...
PeterVancouver Says: 45 minutes from Tsawwassen is downtown Vancouver with its famous harbour. Cruise ships call in regularly and for many, it is the start of an adventure cruising up to Alaska whilst whalewatching. Alongside this area is the home of a number of private and schedule floatplanes...
PeterVancouver Says: The requirement is that the driver has a valid drivers licence and is at least 19 years of age. In addition there is a short training session which gives you a licence to drive F440 cars which are capable of speeds of up to 90 mphAlternatives are Go Karts which can be rented...
Jetgirly Says: Splashdown Park is located minutes from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. When I was a child, some school groups planned walking trips there from Victoria (go on foot on the ferry then walk to the park) so I know it's not too strenuous of a hike! It is home to lots of different...

Makek Restaurant and Lounge: The best Indian food West of Bradford
PeterVancouver Says: Their new premises which have been designed specifically,was opened in the Fall of 2004. The furnishings are of good quality and generally there is no need to book unless for a large party. Contrary to most Indian restaurants in Canada, we are not asked if we want the dish...
McDonalds: Holy Temple of Fast Food
Jetgirly Says: There is a McDonalds in Tsawassen that stands out because it looks a lot like a church from the outside. Inside, it's your standard Mickey D's fare. On second thought, the McDonalds might be in Ladner (technically not Tsawassen), but it's only minutes from the ferry terminal...

Dogs much be leashed at Boundary Bay Regional Park

The claims to fame for Tsawwassen are that it is the main ferry terminal from the Mainland to Vancouver Island and Victoria. Many folk think that the road to the terminal is Tsawwassen, but the actual...
Centennial Beach is a beautiful area located on the west bank of Boundary Bay. It's quite possibly my favourite beach in the Lower Mainland. The beach is located in the southern suburb of Tsawwassen,...
