Sechelt

The Sunshine Coast's largest community sits on a peninsula between the Strait of Georgia and an inlet enclosed by mountains. “Sechelt” means the land between two waters.

The Best of Sechelt - Kayaking, the Boardwalk, and a hub for the Arts, Culture and History on the Sunshine Coast
The boardwalk along the shore in Sechelt offers beautiful views, from the totem poles on the Shíshálh lands to the sea on one side and gardens and the forest on the other.  If you're looking for activity, take on the challenge of the golf course, or kayak the beautiful Sechelt Inlet or the swirling tides of the Georgia Strait.  For activity indoors, swim a few laps or relax in the hot tub and steam rooms of the Aquatic Centre. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the beautiful views of the ocean and Coast Mountains.
 
Visit the House of Hewhiwus Museum for a glimpse into the history of the Shíshálh [Sechelt] people.  The inlets, bays, hills and mountains, have long been the domain of the Shíshálh Nation, and make up the backbone of our community today.
