Frenchman's Cove, Halfmoon Bay- by Matthew Lane

British Columbia is world-renowned for its boating splendor. From interior lakes to open ocean, from city harbours to majestic fjords and quiet inlets, BC offers something for every type of boater.

Nowhere is this more evident than on the Sunshine Coast, a boater’s paradise located just a few short nautical miles northwest of Vancouver. Once you leave West Vancouver/Horseshoe Bay and enter Howe Sound, you are actually boating the Sunshine Coast.

Our thanks to the many CPS members and local boaters whose stories, expertise, recommendations and photographs contribute to this ever growing resource for boating on the Sunshine Coast.

A very special thanks to BigPacific.com for their support of this site including images and reference. BigPacific.com is the definative guide to everything you need to know about the Sunshine Coast.
