Gibsons

Named the “Most Livable Community in 2009” in an international competition held by the United Nations, there's no better introduction to the Sunshine Coast than the charming seaside town of Gibsons.

The Best of Gibsons - Breathtaking Views and a Myriad of Outdoor Activities
Stroll the harbour trail as it winds past a motley collection of watercrafts in Gibsons marina and take in the unforgettable views of Howe Sound and the Coast Mountain Range. You can rent a boat or kayak in the harbour, take a boat tour around Shoal Channel or spend a sunny afternoon at one of the local beaches. If hiking through woodland forests is more your scene, you can take a break from the seascapes and head out on the many trails in and around Gibsons.

Shop and Eat Local in the Seaside Village of Gibsons
Ramble through Lower Gibsons and discover unique shops that sell everything: used books, antiques, local artists' works, fair trade gifts, souvenirs, clothing, and delicious gelato made right above Mike's shop in Lower Gibsons. Take a break at one of the many restaurant patios and soak up the sun as you watch the world go by.
