Local Area and Attractions
Located at the south end of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, Gibsons is a small but culturally vibrant costal community surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the province. Only accessible by ferry, this tranquil town feels like a hidden gem, but is only a 40-minute ferry ride from Vancouver.
Gibsons might be small, but when it comes to culture and heritage, our city offers much for visitors of all ages and interests. Here’s a list of some of our favourite local attractions and things to do in Gibsons.
