UBC Student Guide | Steveston Fisherman's Wharf Day Trip

After marathon shopping at Richmond Centre until 4pm (hello, hypoglycemia!), we raced to Steveston for a seaside recharge. Here's the ultimate student-friendly itinerary! ⛵️ First Impressions Cozy size: More intimate than expected (go mornings for fish market action) Insta-worthy: Nailed our photoshoot in 10 mins flat Golden hour tip: 3-5pm lighting makes the pier glow 🍽️ Can't-Miss Waterfront Dining Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant Prime real estate: Request "patio seating" when booking Student-approved picks: 🦞 Lobster linguine (creamy but light) 🐟 Crispy halibut (like fish & chips' fancy cousin) 🦐 Seafood tower (Instagram vs. reality = same!) Vibe check: Watching tugboats pass with honey-glazed salmon = core memory 🍨 Dessert Hack Timothy's Gelato The wharf's edible souvenir Flavor recs: 🥭 Mango sorbet (dairy-free brilliance) 🥥 Toasted coconut (with real shavings!) Pro move: Get the "affogato" shot (espresso poured over vanilla) 🚌 Budget-Friendly Tips Transit option: Take 401 bus from Richmond Centre ($3) Happy hour: 3-5pm at local pubs (half-price oysters!) Hidden gem: The floating fish & chips shack (cash only) #UBCLifeHacks #SeasideEats #StudentBudgetTravel
