About Cedar, BC

Cedar is a quiet farming and waterfront community just south of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island's east coast, reached off Highway 1 via Cedar Road. It's an easy 15-minute drive from Nanaimo (13 km) and handy to Ladysmith (16 km), making both regular day-trip destinations for locals. Nanaimo Airport (YCD) is only 13 km away, so it's the closest option for flying in. Top up your EV in Nanaimo first, since charging spots around Cedar are limited. Don't miss Yellow Point Lodge, a hand-built log resort dating to the 1930s, still welcoming guests along the shoreline.
