Forty kilometres from Vancouver “North by west in the sunlight”, to quote the former Union Steamship line, basks the Sunshine Coast.

Cast adrift from the Lower Mainland by Howe Sound and the Coast Mountains, this verdant peninusula is accessible only by a 40 minute ferry ride or 20 minute floatplane ride. It feels just like an island.

On the Sunshine Coast you’ll find relaxation and advernture in equal measure, from safe beaches and idyllic inlets to rugged slopes and snowy peaks with a wide arroy of parks and trils, hikers, bikers and dog lovers will never run out of places to explore.

The vibrant communities of Gibson’s, Roberts Creek, Sechelt and Pender Harbour offer big-city amenities in a small town atmosphere. A newly expanded hospital, great schools and quality recreation appeal to young and old alike. Up and down Highway 101 there are great pubs, restaurants, and eclectic coffee houses to suit every budget and taste.
