Qualicum Beach Heritage Forest is 50 acres of old-growth forest with some trees over 500 years in age. The well-marked, mulched trails make for an easy outing.

Old Country Market in Coombs, often advertised as the place with goats on the roof, is a popular place to stop for refreshments. There is a grocery store with gourmet and ethnic foods, a donut shop, a pizza restaurant, and more!

It was founded in the 1970s by brothers Kristian and Solveig Graaten, Norwegian immigrants. Initially, it started as a small fruit and vegetable market, but over time it expanded to include a much larger variety of products and services. The idea of putting goats on the roof was conceived as a strategy to attract more visitors and has remained a distinctive feature ever since. This quirk has helped make the Old Country Market one of Vancouver Island's best-known attractions.

The market has played an important role in the Coombs community, providing jobs and attracting tourists to the area. It is a meeting point and a place where both locals and visitors can enjoy fresh products and unique crafts. Coombs' Old Country Market is much more than a market; It is a cultural and tourist experience that offers something for everyone. Its combination of high-quality products, cozy atmosphere and unique attractions such as the goat roof make it a must-see destination on Vancouver Island.
