Neighbourhood

Our general community is called ‘The Sunshine Coast’. Here is a quote from our local tourism board about our area. “While exploring the Sunshine Coast, please remember to be safe, responsible, and respectful. We’re all visitors on the traditional territories of the Tla’amin, Klahoose, shíshálh, Skwxwú7mesh, and Homalco Nations.” Our immediate community is the village of Roberts Creek. It is about a 20 minute walk from our house to the ‘Heart of the Creek’ where there is a general store, a health food store, a real community post office (one of only a few left in Canada), a tiny library, two lovely restaurants, a pier, and a few other merchants and businesses. There is public transit with a bus stop very near the top of our driveway. The bus takes you to either of the larger towns in our local community: Gibsons or Sechelt. In either of Gibsons or Sechelt you will find all the services you will need, including major grocery stores, liquor stores, tourist and other services, lots of restaurants and bars, farmers markets, marinas, and lovely places to amble. There is a hospital in Sechelt. Our nearest full size supermarket is in Wilsons Creek, which is about 5 km away (5 minute drive). Some amazing tourist attractions in the Sunshine Coast (for more info see: https://sunshinecoastcanada.com/ ) Princess Louisa Inlet and Chatterbox falls cruise - from Egmont, 70 km drive northwest. An fabulous day adventure. Skookumchuk Narrows - also from Egmont. A stunning level hike through old growth forest to a viewing point at Shookumchuk narrows, to see world class rapids and a reversing tide. A favourite internationally known spot for sport kayakers to ‘play’ on the rapids. Hiking. Lots of options from short viewpoints (eg Soames Peak, overlooking Howe Sound) to day hikes (eg Mount Daniel near Pender Harbour), to cool creekside rambles on. Hot day (eg Chapman Creek and Cliff Gilker park). Cliff Gilker park also has a great children’s play area. Mountain biking: The Sunshine Coast is one of the preeminent locations in Canada for mountain biking, with over 700 trails spanning 800+ kms, with purpose built terrain (Sprockkids Park and Coast Gravity Park) and wilderness trails. Bike rentals are available in both Sechelt and Gibsons. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing: we are home to Dakota Ridge, the ski area that was used as a training venue for Olympic athletes prior to the Vancouver Olympics. There is road access; chains are required (really! so purchase some if you do not have them). Gear rentals are available from Alpha Adventures (near to our house, not once you get up to the ski area). Alpha also runs a daily shuttle in season if you don’t want to brave the drive yourself. shíshálh Nation tems swiya Museum: located in Sechelt, this First Nations museum showcases a large collection of artifacts from the area. You will be warmly welcomed and it it well worth a visit. Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives: in Gibsons; named one of the top community museums in BC. Features exhibits of settler history (early logging, agriculture, and maritime history) as well as exhibits co-curated by the Squamish Nation. There is also an exhibit about the well loved TV show ‘The Beachcombers’ that aired in Canada from 1972 to 1990 and was filmed in Gibsons. Gibsons Landing and Davis Bay: two great areas to stroll, eat ice cream, browse funky shops, have a seaside beverage, etc.

Nearest airport

Vancouver international airport 70 km. Sechelt Harbour Air seaplane base 13 km.

Getting around

The best way to get here is by car, and it is very handy to have a car to take advantage of the many other attractions in our area, including hiking, mountain biking, golf, cross country skiing, to name a few. However taking the seaplane from YVR or Vancouver is an experience and we do have bicycles that will make getting around easier. We also have a 5 seater car that we will consider swapping for simultaneous or reciprocal exchanges.
