Richmond’s quaint Steveston Village is something out of a storybook. Which is probably why so many TV shows and movies are filmed in the charming fishing village, including Once Upon a Time.
Its tucked-away eateries, mom-and-pop-style shops and sprawling boardwalk keep people coming back year-round, especially in the warmer months.
Whether you’re looking to take in the local history, enjoy a sweet snack or just soak up the views, a day spent in Steveston is never wasted.
