Sunshine Coast Activities
The Sunshine Coast has mild winters (seldom with snow) and warm dry summers. There are 270 growing days per year (up to 90°F/ 30°C), with the growth of sub-tropicals (eucalyptus, fig, kiwi and palm,) observed in some coastal pockets. The backdrop of the Coast Mountains, ocean coast and "Inland Sea" (Sechelt Inlet) contribute to the scenic nature of the Sunshine Coast. There are numerous parks including the newly established Caren Range Provincial Park, home to a 'cloud forest' containing some of the oldest yellow cedar and western hemlock in Western Canada, and also the Tetrahedron Provincial Park located closest to the community of Tuwanek. Wildlife abounds in the region including deer, eagles, elk, mountain goats, osprey, otters, sea lions and seals.
The Town of Sechelt, BC Sechelt (pop. 8,000) is the geographic centre of the Sunshine Coast. The Shishalh Indian Band (Coast Salish), from which Sechelt gets its name, occupied the town-site historically. Today they sponsor a museum, gift shop and theatre. Sechelt has many services and amenities, including a hospital, shopping mall and several fine restaurants.

Old growth forest is protected in British Columbia's many parks. We are very fortunate on the Sunshine Coast to have many of our forests as living testimonials to the natural history of the area. While pictures may provide one with a sense of these majestic trees, seeing them in their rain forest environment is truly amazing. |
Birding is a sport that everyone can enjoy. It is an outdoor pursuit that is shared by young and old, families and clubs, wildlife scientists and those who are simply outdoors on a walk or an adventurous hike. |
Let the highlights begin in historic Pender Harbour and continue through the Agamemnon Channel. Turn your neck to see rock walls rise straight up from the sea. Consider Indian Rock paintings that have survived 200 years. On our trips in this wilderness channel we often encounter seals and bald eagles. In the Skookumchuck Narrows we pass the village of Egmont. Discover how geography turns the tidal exchange here into the fastest tidal flow in the world. We pass through here at the same time on each trip so the amount of tidal movement we see varies. Check the schedule for strength of the flow on each of our scheduled days. Dine with the eco-tourism specialists at Tzoonie Wilderness Camp. Relax at camp for an hour and a half or explore the beach or forest. |
Spend time ashore in this granite bordered fjord. Like everyone before you it will dominate your future dreams. It was carved by the force of glaciers. The steep sides are mirrored in tranquil waters. Waterfalls are numerous, and change with the passing of each weather system. Every encounter with this wonderland is unique. Don't under rate the travel up Jervis Inlet to Princess Louisa Inlet. Pacific Wings and the Beaver Float plane are a pleasure to fly with and the Beaver has long been noted as the work horse of the back country. Your pilot will provide a very informed commentary on the area and some of the high lights during your trip. |

Welcome to Diving Central! Clear blue waters, abundant marine life and the hospitality of experienced divers await you. Combine those ingredients with warm sunlight and a backdrop of west coast mountains and you've got a diving vacation fit for, well - you - and a crew of your closest friends. We've always known that our ocean was special but you can also ask the National Geographic and the Cousteau Society because they both came and did extensive stories on our diving locations. If you like to dive be sure and check out the Tuwanek Point Dive in the book 101 Dives by Betty Pratt-Johnson.If you are diving on the public beach " the spit" at Tuwanek please be sure to park in the designated areas and respect the privacy of the local residents. You'll find most of them are very nice and they don't mind sharing the beach as long as you clean up after yourselves. |
Winter on the West Coast combines the best of both worlds - the excitement of snow at higher elevations and the knowledge that at the end of the day you return to snow free beaches and roads. |
