JUST ONE HOUR OUT OF VANCOUVER
A 40 minute Ferry Ride away and you enter our Sunshine Coast – pristine wilderness in summer camp country of another time. It is actually part of the mainland, but because of the rugged coastline, a road is yet to be built. From Vancouver it’s just a short drive thru Stanley Park and over The Lion’s Gate Bridge where signs will connect you with the scenic Upper Levels Highway to Horseshoe Bay (about 15 minutes). Board B.C. Ferries to Langdale (a 40 min. ride amongst sizeable mountains, lush islands and the grey-green sea). Breathtakingly beautiful and powerful – you won’t want to miss it. A WAREHOUSE HIDE-A-WAY is situated in Gibsons Landing, 5 min. from the ferry. You can book your ferry ride at www.BCFeries.com for a reservation so there is no waiting.
Gibsons Landing is small coastal town at the southern tip of the Sunshine Coast, an area which extends from Langdale to Earl’s Cove. It is a friendly community oriented bunch of off-beat artists and outdoorsy folk who love this land. Everything that the mountains and the ocean can offer you in terms of recreation and wild life is here. Our restaurants and organic food supply is excellent and out artistic community is strong. Explore the nearby wilderness hiking and forest trails, the endless stretches of beaches and four golf courses. Rent a kayak or book a sailing or fishing excursion. Or just breathe in the untouched beauty of our forests and ocean. The oxygen level from fresh ocean breezes and all our rain forest vegetation is undoubtedly world class.
