Coombs is a charming gem nestled on Vancouver Island. Tucked away just a stone's throw from Parksville and Qualicum Beach, this quaint village is more than just a pit stop.
Famous for its iconic market, this is where you can find goats grazing nonchalantly atop the sod roof, adding a whimsical touch to the landscape. It's a sight you won't find anywhere else, and it's just the beginning of the eclectic charm this little area exudes.
It's also why the area is synonymously known as Goats on the Roof Coombs. These furry friends are so famous that people often ask, “Where's Goats on the Roof BC?”. (Like that's the name of the town!).
More than a million visitors arrive each year to see these goats on top of the sod roof. While some visitors stop only to marvel at the permanent four-legged tenants, others stay to immerse themselves in the many unique galleries, studios and shops that share the area with the famous furry friends.
