Thanks to a rain shadow that catches most of the
moisture coming off the ocean, the Sunshine Coast has
an annual total of 1,400 to 2,400 hours of sunshine,
an average of 4 to 6 hours per day! Comprising of two
land-locked peninsulas near West Vancouver, the
Sunshine Coast is only accessible by boat or
plane�giving it an isolated, relaxing
atmosphere.

The Sunshine Coast is split into two areas, the upper
and lower Sunshine Coast, by Jervis Inlet. The lower
southern half, between the ferries at
Langdale and
Earls Cove,
occupies the Sechelt Peninsula, while the northern
upper half, between the ferry at Saltery Bay and
Lund, sits on the
Malaspina Peninsula. The area has a population of
approximately 60,000 and includes the communities of:
Gibsons (a seaside
town),
Roberts Creek
(home of the Gumboot Nation),
Sechelt,
Halfmoon Bay,
Pender Harbour,
Egmont and
Powell River.
Texada Island is
accessible from Powell River.

You�ll find plenty of recreational opportunities �
biking, hiking, and ski trails; canoe and kayak
routes; and beachcombing spots. The end of the
Sunshine Coast is the gateway to the beautiful
Desolation Sound Marine Park, which is the largest marine park in BC.
Lovers of the arts and culture will enjoy the
renowned Festival of the Written Arts, the Fibre
Arts Festival and the Hackett Park Craft Fair. The
Coast Cultural Alliance, formed to encourage
development of the arts in the Sunshine Coast,
provides information about artists, events and
gallery.
