About Sechelt, BC

Sechelt sits on the Sunshine Coast, about 71 km from Vancouver but reachable only by ferry, since the coast has no direct road link to the Lower Mainland. Take Highway 99 or Highway 1 to Horseshoe Bay, catch the BC Ferries run to Langdale, then follow Highway 101 north about 22 km into town. Locals make the short Gibsons run daily, while the trip north past Sechelt to Earls Cove and on to Powell River needs a second ferry crossing. Public EV chargers are available in town, and the local Sechelt-Gibsons Airport (YHS) handles floatplane traffic, a good reminder of how water and air travel shape life on this stretch of coast.
