Visiting Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast
Sightseeing
Soames Hill Cottage is located steps from the Regional park trail head. A pair of hiking shoes and some water are all you need to enjoy this short, but vigorous 30 minute hike to the top of a local favourite viewpoint. When you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with expansive views of Gibsons Landing, Keats and Gambier Islands, and beyond.

The hiking-only park is a popular gathering place for families, walkers, photographers, and naturalists. The trail system is filled with many colour coded hiking routes cutting through forests and over creeks with unique wooden bridges, with many waterfalls along the routes. At over 7 km in length, the multiple trails intersect one another and should take 1.5-2.5 hours to complete. A little longer if you spend some time enjoying the scenery. Some of the trails are wheelchair accessible, including the waterfall viewing platform. Rain or shine, you’re covered by the canopy and in BC’s wilderness.

When it’s a low tide, Davis Bay beach can’t be beat for its sandbars and tidal pools - a favourite spot for family beach days, sand castle building, or simply strolling along the sea walk or out to the end of the landmark pier. When the wind picks up, you can generally catch a few kite boarders and wind surfers mesmerizing onlookers with their intense stunts, speed and agility. And if you’re really lucky, sometimes you can even catch a glimpse of marine animals like porpoises, sea lions or whales.
Davis Bay is also well-known for epic sunsets. A favourite sunset spot is the large deck at the Wobbly Canoe, where you can dine on an eclectic menu of Westcoast comfort foods and tasty beverages.
