Sunshine Coast

Introducing Sunshine Coast

Stretching along the water from Langdale to Lund, the Sunshine Coast – separated from the Lower Mainland by the Coast Mountains and the Strait of Georgia – has an independent, islandlike mentality that belies the fact that it’s only a 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay. With Hwy 101 linking key communities like Gibsons, Sechelt and Powell River, it’s an easy and convivial region to explore and there’s plenty of local rivalry to keep things colorful. Check the website of the Sunshine Coast Tourism (www.sunshinecoastcanada.com) for information and pick up a copy of the Sunshine Coast Recreation Map & Activity Guide ($3) for outdoors activities and operators around the region.
