About BW

Breakwater is a digital magazine that celebrates the culture of Vancouver Island.

Launched in 2019, Breakwater Magazine aims to unearth what makes Vancouver Island special. We hope to encourage an appreciation of Island life through explorations of food, drink, travel, music, history, art and design. With Breakwater, we want to help preserve the spirit and character of the Island as we see it.


We plan to publish new stories regularly.
