Sunshine Coast Walking Tours

Guided Walking Tours

The best way to see a town is not by zooming through it in your car following a long line of ferry traffic desperately looking for the sign pointing you in the direction of your next destination.

Mural, downtown Sechelt

Sechelt and Gibsons can both be enjoyed during brief walks along the waterfront and through the village centre. Take a few minutes or hours to stretch your legs and meet the locals.

In Gibsons, start at Molly's Reach (you can't miss it) and take the steps down below the government wharf to the harbour walk. Right will take you past the harbour full of fishing boats and pleasure craft, and a bit of ingenuity (duck back up to the road where the path ends and look for the way back down) will take you to Gibsons Yacht Club. Turning left at the bottom of the stairs will take you along the waterfront with splendid views of the North Shore mountains and often a ferry making its way across the Sound. Clamber over the boat launch at Cole's Marine and continue along the path to Armour's Beach - a great summer swimming spot. Climb up the hill here and come back along Gibson's Landing's quaint main street. Explore the shops and cafes of Marine Drive, Molly's Lane (behind Molly's Reach) and Gower Point Road.

In Sechelt, find the waterfront behind the condos at the foot of Inlet Avenue. The long pebble beach is a great place for swimming. Turn right on the path and walk along to Snickett Park, where huge rocks jut out over the sea and offer fabulous views of Trail Bay and the islands. This is an excellent place to watch a storm, as the waves crash and roar over the rocks and the whitecaps roll over the usually calm sea. From Snickett, turn up Trail Avenue to find Trail Bay Mall and Cowrie Street. Turn right on Cowrie to stroll through Sechelt's sunny centre and see what you can find.

Just one of the sights to stumble across on your ramblings
