What to do and see in Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast: The Best Things to do

June 8, 2021 Leida Jutras

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.

I showed up with a group of friends, 6 of us total, and it was fantastic. Our server was Jodi and she was incredibly friendly, polite, well informed on all the beer and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. I particularly enjoyed the Zunga and the Suncoast Pale Ale. I'd recommend that anyone that visits Powell River needs to check out Townsite. It's been a while since I had service as great as Jodi provided and a beer as refreshing after having hiked 80+ km's along the Sunshine Coast Trail. Loved it there.

Porpoise Bay Provincial Park

Reviewed By HelenP1963 - Cochrane, Canada

We enjoyed this campground so much we stayed 2 extra nights. Sites are very much in the trees so we did not use our solar panels much! Sites nicely spaced out. Washroom and showers super clean. Notice some reviews state they are upset that there are no individual firepits but that did not bother us at all. Good value for money and plenty to do in the area.

Inland Lake Provincial Park

Reviewed By 800barbp

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens, with moderate fitness levels) thoroughly enjoyed this trail! Best to bring a water bottle, or two, as it is a 13km bike ride. There are some narrow sections (not completely wheelchair accessible). If you don’t want to bike the entire loop, turn to the trail on your right (when you’re facing the dock)...that’s the portion of the trail with the best swimming spots (be sure to wear your swim suit).

Reviewed By hockeye44 - Sechelt, Canada

The view from Soames Hill is totally worthy of taking photos of to show others. My wife and I climbed up to the top and it was well worth the effort. The original route has been improved making the summit even easier to access than it was years ago.

Davis Bay Beach

Reviewed By Secheltsunseeker - Sechelt, Canada

Located right on Hwy 101 you can’t miss Davis Bay Beach. It’s mostly a typically BC west coast pebble beach but at the south end at low tide there is a huge stretch of sand. When the tide comes in after the sand has soaked in the sunlight the water is beautifully warm for swimming. The kilometre or so boardwalk (sidewalk actually) is lined with many funky restaurants and coffee shops.
