Sightseeing

Atop of Soames hill are several beautiful view points overlooking Gibsons marina, Keats and Bowen Island. There is also an off-leash dog park and trails at Chamberlin rd., Gibsons. From there, you can walk down Esperanza rd., or along the trails towards Soames hill. It’s a much shorter distance up the hill when taking the stairs to the left. About a 15 min hike one way.

Food scene

Gourmet burgers using locally sourced ingredients. Take out only and eat outdoors picnic style on the covered deck. The entrance is across from the General store, not to be confused with the cafe. The cafe is great too!

Favourite Beaches

Also nicknamed Flume beach. There is a grassy field and half a dozen picnic tables, water and a public toilet. At low tide, this beach turns into a huge sandy beach. You’ll spot White Islets from here. Easy to on/offload paddle boards or kayaks, as there is a road going down close to the water.

This is where the yearly mandala painting happens. There is a long pier to stroll on and the beach has lots of logs to sit on or find shelter in between. The beach is great for swimming too,

This may be one of the largest sandy beaches on the Coast, at low tide. Many people enjoy walking or cycling on the esplanade that stretches over a Kilometer along the beach.

This lake access is worth the 45 min drive from Roberts Creek. The sandy beach turns the fresh lake water into a turquoise colour rivalling Hawaiian waters. The lake is more temperate to swim in than the ocean. It’s a small beach access and it’s popular for good reason, so maybe go early to find the best shady spots. There is a toilet facility and picnic tables.
