Out of Province Visitors

In all of Canada, there is no more beautiful province than British Columbia on Canada's west coast; and in British Columbia there is no more beautiful spot than the Sunshine Coast.  Surrounded on three sides by the sea and on the fourth by the spectacular snow-capped Coastal Range Mountains, the Sunshine Coast is accessible only by water, even though it is part of mainland British Columbia.  You begin your journey with a spectacular 40 minute ferry ride across Howe Sound from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver.

After your arrival at Vancouver Airport, you may wish to spend two or three days exploring Vancouver, and then rent a car and head for the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal in West Vancouver, about 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Go directly to the "Langdale, Sunshine Coast" ticket booth where you purchase your return trip ticket.

On the Sunshine Coast you will find accommodation to suit every taste, from luxury B&B's, to woodland cottages. Reservations are just a click away - see our availability calendars and book on-line.
