Out Front with Queen of the Peak
For the last 10 years, Queen of the Peak Surf Championships have taken place on Cox Bay, just steps from our doors. Hosted by our friends at Surf Sister Surf School, Shelter Restaurant, and Billabong, this competition offers an opportunity for athletes to compete against fellow female surfers from around the world.
Shop, snack, spectate and support this bustling annual event, happening this weekend. Not only are there three days of impressive wave-riding to catch, the beach comes alive with local vendors and the town is abuzz all week with fun times. Many events feature art, film, and dancing in celebration of surf, our community’s favourite pass time. This cold-water culture is what draws many to our coastline and we even have a few LBLR staff members competing. Queen of the Peak serves up a world-class experience for both those in the water and on the beach. Come cheer them on from the comfort of the Great Room or SandBar Bistro, where we'll be serving up pulled pork chili, poutine and hot drinks all weekend.
