Traffic through this neighbourhood is quite minimal and usually reserved for residents, aside from the occasional school or city bus. The city bus also helps connect the region to the rest of the local transit system, with the Southside route cruising through about once an hour.

This has created a residential neighbourhood with a slower pace of life, perfect for retirees and families.
Things to Do in Cameron Heights

In several designated lookout spots, hikers can take a moment to rest and enjoy panoramic views of the Alberni Valley.

A communal fire pit, a covered gazebo area, portable washrooms, a volleyball net, and a large, grassy field for playing catch with your pup are some of the top features. Although there are several picnic tables and benches, visitors also enjoy bringing their folding chairs and setting up on the beach to watch the boats go by or the stunning views during sunset.
