Scoops by the Sea is an outdoor ice cream stand in Chemainus, BC, tucked behind a building across from the local visitor center. The shop handcrafts all its ice cream in-store daily, with an extensive roster of signature flavours, rotating seasonal specials, and a full vegan and dairy-free lineup using water-based sorbets, coconut milk, and cashew milk. Beyond ice cream, they serve gourmet beef hotdogs, milkshakes, frappes, iced coffee, and freshly squeezed lemonade — making it a rewarding treat stop for touring cyclists passing through this historic waterfront town.
