All about Sechelt
Situated on Canada’s Sunshine Coast on mainland British Columbia, with the Strait of Georgia to the south and the expansive Sechelt Inlet to the north, the small town of Sechelt promises seaside views, rocky beaches outlined by evergreen forests, and a charming downtown.
The calm sea waters of the strait and inlet lend themselves to a variety of water-related activities, including kayaking, scuba diving, and stand-up paddleboarding. After spending the day hiking in the parks or windsurfing, you can take a drive along the Sunshine Coast Highway which meanders along the water’s edge or wander along Cowrie Street downtown to shop for local art, handmade goods, and vintage treasures. The hiking and biking trails that snake up the surrounding mountains may bring you past cascading waterfalls such as Burnett Falls, which become even more dramatic during the spring melt.

Located around 20 minutes from Sechelt, the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives has collected photographs, newspaper articles, and thousands of artefacts that trace the region’s past. It includes exhibits on the Coast Salish peoples (including the Sechelt tribe) who have lived here for thousands of years, as well as industries of importance such as fishing, logging, and agriculture. The colorful butterfly and beetle collections provide a glimpse at the diversity of the wildlife here.
