British Columbia's Sunshine Coast does seem to get more than its fair share of great weather, plus breathtaking scenery and friendly coastal villages to discover. The beaches are best in summer, but the natural beauty is year-round. Travelers rave about swimming while gazing up at the mountains, or just relaxing in a romantic B&B while the setting sun paints a canvas of color over the water.

Incredibly magical all year round for any and all outdoor-nature enthusiasts. Many levels of hiking, back country skiing and animal watching.

Unsurpassed and accessible beauty. Such a gem with multiple cabins to stay at for those who want to get away from it all.

Spent a week sailing from Nanaimo to the end of Princess Louisa Inlet and the beautiful Chatterbox Falls and back to Nanaimo. This is a wonderful trip through some of the most beautiful waters on the East side of Vancouver Island. From Nanaimo you sale to the east side of Texada Island, to Jarvis Inlet, to Princess Louisa Inlet to be rewarded by the spectacular Chatterbox Falls. The traces of water from the highest peaks all cascading and joining to form Chatterbox Falls and tumble mightily into the ocean inlet. This trip is beautiful and rewarding at every turn. This destination can only be made by water. We sailed and the rythym of the water and the pace of the journey was it's own reward.

We have our own kayaks and spent a few hours doing a 20 km paddle around almost all of the Copelands, launching from Lund. A diverse set of islands with interesting geology, sea life big (seals, porpoises and whales if you are lucky) and small. An absolutely brilliant way to spend a day or bring a tent and camp on one of the island sites. If you are bringing your own boats, beware of the Lund Parking Lots and their dishonest attendant. We understand that they need to make revenue, but lying about where one can put in one's kayak is not cool.

We used Jesse’s Sunshine Coast Trail shuttle to take us from Powell River to Lund. The service was excellent. The driver arrived promptly with a spacious vehicle and he provided us with helpful updates about the trail. I highly recommend using this service if you require a shuttle .

The Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre (NSMEC) is a unique collect and release aquarium located inside Gibsons Public Market in the seaside town of Gibsons, BC. The Sonntag Centre houses 30 exhibits displaying natural habitat and local marine fish and invertebrates from the waters of the Howe Sound. This includes interactive touch tanks and scavenger hunts! The animals are collected by our team of professional SCUBA divers. The animals are then housed in the Centre for 6-18 months, depending on the species, and released back to the ocean with help from the entire community. Displays are always changing, allowing the diversity of the marine life we have in the Howe Sound to shine. We host formal education programs with schools, run summer camps and bring in experts to deliver engaging presentations on ocean topics. Come visit us soon!

Located in the "Bluff Area", just minutes from the Gibsons Marina & markets, this little beach is a well-kept secret by locals and an idea spot for a romantic picnic with your signifigant other (or bring the kids!) We often stop at one of the eateries on nearby Gower Point Road and pick-up a fresh made sandwich or decadent dessert to take with us and enjoy some quiet time at the picnic table, looking over the quiet ocean waters (evening time you can watch the boats returning to harbour as the sun sets...) With the car windows down and Andre Bocelli or Eva Cassidy softly playing on our car system (be respectful of the local neighbours and don't play loud music,,,) we sit at the table and maybe share a little wine with our picnic meal (I know it's not legal in BC to consume alcohol in public, but we've been to England where you can consume a glass of wine in their local parks, so why not, if it works there just do so responsibly) and be sure to clean up your refuse and take it away with you when you leave. Enjoy.
