East Coast Vancouver Island

The Sunshine Coast BC Canada is the perfect place to go for a family beach vacation or a week of fishing.

East Coast Vancouver Island offers a wide variety of activities for all members of the family.

The East Coast beaches have the warmest climate on the Island, and they offer sandy beaches and calmer waves—perfect for swimming and for families with children.

But, the beaches aren’t everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer. You will also find great fishing, scuba diving, whale watching tours, quaint little towns with interesting shopping and fine hotels and restaurants…
