This regional district, a unique part of mainland British Columbia, is accessible only by ferry and seaplane. It exudes an enchanting island vibe, with several small towns offering many activities to enjoy and hidden gems to explore.
After a 40-minute BC ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver, the road trip starts from the southern coast of Gibsons until we reach the heart of the Sunshine Coast— the district municipality of Sechelt.
It's lovely weather to start the three-day birthday holiday. A warm sunny day that brightens up everyone's day. And our first stop is the sandy shore of Davis Bay in Sechelt. Its coastline offers a respite from a warm and dry summer. The sea breeze, the horizon, and the island views are perfect for a day of unwinding. We're beachin' and watching people surfin'.
As I reach another milestone, the beach is an ideal place to rejuvenate and plan for another year of discovery and adventure. The previous year may have been full of challenges, but I was able to surpass the trials along the way. And for this birthday celebration, all I want is a fresh start, to breathe in and out in front of the sea and release the obstacles behind.
If the sea is a powerful extractor of what's pulling us from getting what we want, I must release all the unwanted and feel a more revitalized and renewed being. It's a profound feeling of healing and connection. And if that heals, then I must make it a birthday tradition to go to the sea, walk on the sand, and bathe in the sun.
The Sunshine Coast may have a laid-back culture, but it's a vibrant community and a paradise to many, especially among outdoor enthusiasts. The array of activities, from water sports like paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, scuba diving, and kite surfing to inland activities like hiking, camping, golfing, and mountain climbing, promises an endless adventure.
Three days on the Sunshine Coast for a birthday holiday are not enough to experience all the exciting activities this place has to offer. But I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore and discover more of this paradise worth revisiting.
A road trip on a coastal highway, hiking on a forested trail, camping on a creekside, and a scenic walk in a waterfront park made my day. It was the best birthday on holiday. Sunshine Coast adventure all the way.
