Every community starts their profile claiming they have something for everyone. They all say they have lots of recreation and super nice people. In Sechelt, we are not just blowing wind in your sails, spraying water in your kayak or waxing your skis, we really do have something for everyone! One thing you should remember is that the Sunshine Coast is a peninsula, not an island!

Only a short drive and a ferry (or 20-minute float plane) to Vancouver, we are close enough that we can zip over for lunch or a concert but far enough away that we really feel far away. Feeling far away really matters. There is no hustle and bustle here, there is only calm. 

Get here by ferry

Catch a beautiful and relaxing 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. From there, Sechelt is a short 30-minute drive. Visit BC Ferries to see schedules, make a reservation and plan your trip.

Get here by float plane

Regular seaplane connection lets you get to downtown Vancouver in just 20 minutes, making Sechelt doable for active entrepreneurs and business owners who need to check in with their teams in the big city. Visit Sunshine Coast Air or Harbour Air for schedules.

Beaches, hiking and mountain biking

We are surrounded by water and boast 55 beach access trails so even if you don't live on the beach, you have easy access. Water sports (including fishing and diving) are a big thing here but so is relaxing on a log and just enjoying the sunset. If that isn't enough to make you pack your bags, we also have skiing (cross country and back country) and snowshoeing only a 20-minute drive from downtown. We have great snowshoeing and Nordic skiing trails. And of course, if you have trails, you have mountain biking and hiking - all. year. long. There are literally hundreds of trails on the Sunshine Coast for you to explore.

Arts and culture

The arts and culture here is outstanding. There are so many community events, local artists and local musicians you would be hard pressed to NOT soak some of that up. The Sechelt Arts Festival, the famous Festival of the Written Arts, Rogue Festival and Sunshine Coast Art Crawl attract visitors from around the world. 

Imagine a lifestyle where you are only a short walk or bike ride to work, you go home for lunch and you are home again in time to paint, play in the band, go for a hike AND watch the sunset - all before dinner. 

THAT is what Sechelt offers you. We really do have it all.
