Who We Are
Sunshine Coast Communities
A peculiar quirk in our neck of the woods is all the sub-communities that are sprinkled along Hwy. 101 from Port Mellon to Egmont. Walk a half a mile one way out of Sechelt and you're in Selma Park. A half mile the other direction and you've stumbled into West Sechelt, thank you very much. To get an idea of the sheer number of unique neighbourhoods this 86-kilometre stretch of coastline holds, check out the list below! All-caps names are our major centres.
Let's go on a tour, starting at the south-eastern end and working our way to the Earl's Cove ferry terminal at the northwest and see what we end up with:
- Port Mellon
- Dogpatch (now wouldn't that make a great return address?)
- Langdale - FERRY TERMINAL
- Hopkins Landing
- Granthams Landing
- Gibsons Landing (also referred to as Lower Gibsons)
- GIBSONS
- Upper Gibsons
- Roberts Creek (visit the buzzwords page for more info about the Nation of Roberts Creek)
- Wilson Creek
- Davis Bay - home to some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world
- Selma Park
- Sechelt Indian Band
- SECHELT VILLAGE
Go north from Sechelt and you get:
- Porpoise Bay
- East Porpoise Bay
- Bayview
- Sandy Hook

- Tuwanek
Continue west/northwest from Sechelt to find :

- Francis Peninsula

Whew! That's a lot of communities for a
60 mile stretch. We're possessive about our little corners, and it's
definitely one of the great charms of living here.
