This is my favourite place to go for a amazing breakfast! When my parents are visiting, we always head to Gabriel's. My favourite breakfast is the west coast salmon wrap! Its a busy scene, and busiest on the weekends, but they move people in and out quickly so its worth it!

Parks & Nature
This is an amazing dog friendly beach to hit on a low tide - below 7 feet is best, the sand goes on and on forever!
You park in the cul-de-sac at the end of Invermere road in a residential neighbourhood, and the access point down to the beach is well marked. Beware that there is a long/step set of stairs that take you down to the beach but I promise its worth the climb at the end!

Sunset or sunrise at Pipers Lagoon is a must see! There is also a short but lovely hike,but also lots of benches to sit down and take it all in! Killer whales can often be spotted swimming close to shore here.
