Sunshine Coast a year-round outdoor haven with plenty of ‘Beachcombers’ nods
GIBSONS, B.C. — Howe Sound is glass-still on the voyage from Gibsons Landing to Keats Island, save for the odd motorboat wake jostling the kayak.
The peace is also broken momentarily as a seal bursts out of the water, letting out a hearty snort before it dives back beneath the surface.
Gibsons is a quaint and colourful town at the southern end of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, a 180-kilometre stretch of picturesque oceanside communities and jagged coastline along the Strait of Georgia.
Many visitors to Gibsons get a kick out of the numerous nods to the long-running Canadian sitcom “The Beachcombers,” which was filmed in the town and ran from 1972 to 1990.
