Once a bustling community, today Cedar offers its residents peace and tranquility in a rural setting that lends itself to the many outdoor activities the green space encourages from ocean-front strolls to hikes through the forest, nature watching, swimming, fishing, and boating.
Residents of Cedar are attracted to the peace, quiet and rural setting that offers a host of outdoor recreational pursuits while the short drive to larger neighboring communities provides access to more varied entertainment options from art galleries and museums in the Old City to arcades and bowling in the University District and Central Nanaimo, and sports events played throughout the area.
Though not densely populated, the Cedar area offers several dining opportunities that please locals and area residents alike: there are two British inspired public houses, the Crow and Gate Pub and the Wheatsheaf Pub; fine dining in the casual setting of the Mahle House a restored heritage home on an acre of English-style gardens and built in 1904; the Coco Cafe offering breakfast and lunch options, while the Cassidy Country Kitchen on the border with Extension offers home-cooked meals.
