Sunshine Coast
Nestled into the south-western section of British Columbia, the Sunshine Coast is a hidden gem offering a little bit of paradise from the hustle and bustle of the city. As part of the BC mainland, this charming area is accessible by ferry or air from Greater Vancouver.
The majestic Coast Mountains and Strait of Georgia separate the Lower Mainland from this community with its genuine island vibe. Take some time to explore the area via Highway 101 - which takes you through some key communities that include Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Sechelt.
Once here, you'll find spectacular hiking opportunities throughout this stretch of land with its beautiful coastline of verdant, deep-green forests that reflect BC's pristine beauty and immense landscapes. Indeed, the entire Sunshine Coast features a network of scenic trails for nearly every age group and skill level.
