Daily Life: Explore the Coast


Living on the Sunshine Coast offers a slower pace of life, allowing you to appreciate its natural beauty daily.

Hiking and Cycling Trails


Discover the Sunshine Coast’s stunning landscapes through our diverse hiking and cycling trails—from leisurely strolls to heart-pumping adventures.

Tara's Favourite Hikes:

  • Cliff Gilker Park (Easy-Moderate) Nestled in Roberts Creek, this local go-to spot features 7 km of colour-coded trails, waterfalls, and charming bridges. Bring your furry friend—dogs love it here, too!
  • Smugglers Cove (Easy) Perfect for a gentle hike, enjoy boardwalks, marshes, and rock outcroppings along the 4 km trail.
  • Mount Daniel (Challenging) For fitness enthusiasts, this straight-up trail rewards you with gorgeous panoramic views of Pender Harbour.
  • Tetrahedron Park (Moderate-Challenging) Ideal for weekend lovers! Challenge yourself with Mount Steele’s 5-hour hike and consider staying in one of the cabins for an unforgettable experience.



Tara’s Coffee Shop Recommendations:


  • Straight Coffee, located in Wilson Creek, is by far the best coffee on the coast, not to mention the most amazing desserts: super friendly staff and an excellent place for breakfast or lunch. Tends to have line-ups, so be patient, trust me, it is worth the wait!
  • The Bakery in Sechelt has excellent coffee, fabulous cookies and made-in-house granola. They are known for their ginger cookies and carrot cake, so if you need a sweet treat to refuel you after some shopping in downtown Sechelt, The Bakery is definitely your spot.
  • The Gumboot Cafe is an iconic eatery with a unique charm. It features fantastic food, extensive vegan and gluten-free options, and a lovely atmosphere. I have been going to the cafe for years; they have the best vegetarian menu on the coast, for sure. 

BEACHCOMBING


Enjoy your morning coffee as you connect with friends amidst endless stretches of sandy beaches and pebbled shorelines.

Tara’s Favourite Beaches:


  • Bonniebrook Beach
  • Roberts Creek Pier 
  • Sargeant Bay Provincial Park 
  • Lambs Brook—a hidden gem; get there early for good parking!

The TV show ‘Beachcombers’ was filmed in Gibsons—don’t miss visiting the famous Molly’s Reach—now the new location of the Black Bean Cafe!
