FIND YOUR FAVOURITE VIEW
A Perfect Day,
Sunshine Coast–Style
Kick the day off beachside out front the Inn at Snickett Park. Stretch your legs along the Davis Bay seawall for those ocean views. Wander Cowrie Street next, where downtown Sechelt’s local shops and galleries are packed with art, handcrafted finds, books, and coastal style.
Cool down with a waffle cone of gelato or grab a seat on our waterfront patio at Fred’s with a local craft beer. Pop into a vintage shop or two, and you’re bound to leave with something uniquely Sechelt.
