September 12-13, 2025 – Friday and Saturday
Over two unhurried days, we wandered through Beacon Park and along Sidney’s waterfront, letting the place reveal itself at its own gentle pace. Each visit felt a little different: one morning the Salish Sea carried the scent of salt and cedar on a cool breeze, and the sculptures along the shoreline seemed to invite us to pause and linger. Later, in the softer afternoon light, children played on the lawns and Mount Baker glowed faintly across the water. With time on our side, we could simply settle into the rhythm of the park—walking, watching, and savoring the quiet joy of being outdoors.
Sidney itself welcomed us with that same easy charm. We meandered through bookshops and cafés, browsed the boutiques on Beacon Avenue, and watched boats slip in and out of the marina. On our second day, we found ourselves circling back toward the waterfront just in time to observe part of the filming for Easton Prep. Seeing the crew at work added a spark of excitement to our slow exploration, a reminder that this small coastal town holds more stories than you might expect. By the end of our two-day excursion, we felt both refreshed and delighted—grateful for the chance to explore at our own pace, to stumble upon unexpected moments, and to let Sidney’s gentle coastal spirit sink in.
