Sunshine Coast

The secret is out! The Sunshine Coast, just a short drive and a ferry ride from Vancouver, BC, is an uncrowded, unspoiled scenic land just beckoning for outdoor visitors. There's plenty of camping opportunities available, enough to satisfy most any persuasion, from backwoods primitive, to marine parks along remote shoreline beaches, to your full service RV resorts.

Outdoor recreation what you're looking for? Then check out these great choices for hiking and mountain biking along scenic woodland trails, for kayaking and fishing along the shores, for scuba diving and boating around the islands, and even for golf. If that's not enough, then check out the 101 things to do on the Sunshine Coast. There's plenty of fun things to do year round.

Besides all the energetic activities, there's laid back ones too. For some pampered sight-seeing, consider taking one of the scenic boat cruises that can take you to some majestic places unreachable by car. For instance, remotely tucked away, and reached only by water, is the Princess Louisa Inlet, with some spectacular scenery that will leave you spellbound. And if you are fortunate to have your own boat, there are marine parks along the coastline that offer an opportunity to get away from it all, explore on your own, and do some primitive camping.

This is the Pacific northwest, so you may expect some rain, but there are rainy day activities too, like visiting hatcheries, wildlife centers, or museums. With all that there is to see and do along the Sunshine Coast, this great vacation destination won't be kept a secret for very much longer. Plan a trip now.
