Port Moody

Nestled where Burrard Inlet meets the North Shore mountains, Port Moody sits at the eastern tip of Metro Vancouver, offering visitors an appealing blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. Known as the City of the Arts, Port Moody’s character shines through its streets, where historic buildings and colourful murals hint at a rich artistic spirit rooted in West Coast tradition. Here, you’ll find heritage warehouses lovingly converted into galleries and studios, while the renowned Port Moody Arts Centre anchors a growing creative community.

The waterfront at Rocky Point Park draws locals and guests alike, with tranquil walking paths winding along the shore, shaded by towering evergreens, and plentiful opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, or glimpsing playful seals in the harbour. Cyclists and hikers can connect to the scenic Shoreline Trail or venture into the lush forests of Bert Flinn Park and Burnaby Mountain. After active exploration, a lively craft brewing scene awaits along Brewers Row, where inviting patios offer panoramic inlet views and unique local brews.

Port Moody’s festive spirit comes alive with events like the Golden Spike Days Festival each summer, celebrating the town’s railway heritage with music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities at Rocky Point. Art crawls, pop-up markets, and open-air concerts fill the calendar year-round. As evening falls, visitors savour West Coast cuisine in waterside bistros, or catch a performance at Inlet Theatre. Warm and welcoming, Port Moody charms those seeking both urban flair and wild B.C. splendour, all wrapped within a community that invites you to linger a little longer by the water’s edge.
