First Nation Heritage Awaits
A good start to your sojourn would be by strolling through downtown Sechelt. Grab your camera and take in the century-old houses and charming family-owned shops. Cowrie Street, awash with artisan shops and boutique stores, is the perfect place to find coastal crafts. Meanwhile, culture travellers will enjoy browsing through the intriguing bric-a-brac, meeting locals, and sampling farm-fresh goodies at the Sechelt Farmers Market.
Shíshálh heritage comes alive at the Tems Swiya Museum on the Sunshine Coast Highway. While here, look out for the 3,500-year-old mortuary stone, and the "Sechelt Image," a mysterious sculpture of a woman holding a baby, looking toward the sky. Visit the Sunshine Coast Museum, which traces the region's history through a series of over 9,000 photos and documents, or walk along the waterfront to read the heritage plaques displaying regional history.
Sunshine Coast Day Trips: Wildlife and Waterside Fun
With Sechelt as your base, it's easy to embark on day trips to the neighbouring communities of Egmont, Roberts Creek, and Halfmoon Bay. Water babies can spend hours paddling, boating, fishing, and kayaking at the scenic fjords of Sechelt Inlet, Salmon Inlet, and Narrows Inlet. The Sunshine Coast's dive sites are also well known – highly recommended are Skookumchuck Narrows, Powell River, and Mermaid Cove, where a 2.74m bronze mermaid statue reposes serenely.
The unique seaside community of Pender Harbour is worth exploring for its five freshwater lakes, easy walks, and salmon fishing. From here, you can rent a boat and visit the Anderson and Charles Islands and the 400ft-deep grotto of Fearney Bluffs, replete with sea life and granite-etched pictographs.
Sechelt also attracts cyclists with its 700km of bike trails weaving past rugged shoreline and mossy rain forests. Halfmoon Bay is a favourite with newbie bikers, thanks to its easy cruises and downhill runs. Set out on the Sunshine Coast's golf trail and practice your swing at the picturesque Blue Ocean, Pender Harbour, and Myrtle Point golf courses. Finally, don't forget the region's fabulous wildlife: sightings of great blue herons, bears, coyotes, cougars, and whales reward visitors to Sechelt.
