Drinks & Nightlife

The Causeway is under nightlife because it is the ONLY thing in town open late - during the summer I think they will stay open until 11 PM! Take a walk and get a treat. They are under new ownership, have a great selection of snacks and drinks - as well as bin candy.

Is the main liquor store closed??? Need an emergency bottle of wine? Underneath Howler's there is a Private Liquor Store open later and longer! You are in luck! You can walk right over from the house.

Queen B's is the place to be for community gossip, a good cup of coffee and a nice baked good or sandwich. Walk over, have a seat outside and watch the boats at the wharf.

MUST have lunch at the Kay Bistro when you visit the Haida Heritage Centre - or even when you don't. The best sandwiches on island. They also usually have huge cookies for dessert.

Parks & Nature

This says Tlell - but it is really in Skidegate. Parks Canada does a nature walk twice a week on the trail - see brochure or call Heritage Centre for the times.

A drive past the cemetery and out to Kagan Bay is always nice - at low tide you can go for a long walk along the beach. This is the closest you will get to Gwaii Haanas scenery without going south.

Arts & Culture

This is in Skidegate, not Tlell. Visit the Haida Heritage Centre to go to the museum, the great little gift shop and the included art gallery that has a rotating show.

Essentials

We have public library's in every area - Queen Charlotte, Sandspit, Port Clements, and Massett. If you need WIFI this is the place to stop. It is also fun just to check out the main community space in each community. In Queen Charlotte the library is across from the grocery store and under the community centre.

Stop in and see Rose. She has a great selection of T-shirts for souvenirs and a nice selection of jewelry as well. It also is worth driving through Skidegate (along the water past the Longhouse Gift Shop) and stop in at peoples homes that advertise Haida art and carving.

Sightseeing

Just drive around - I'm serious - a big part of our island is our eclectic and tiny locals population - have conversations, make some friends. It's a wonderful place.
