DRIVING DIRECTIONS FROM HORSESHOE BAY FERRY TERMINAL:

To reach the Sunshine Coast, take the Langdale Ferry at Horseshoe Bay. Horseshoe Bay is located just 20 minutes north of the city of Vancouver, off Highway 1. The Langdale Ferry runs approximately every 2 hours and the ferry crossing time is 40 minutes. Boarding the ferry in Horseshoe Bay, your journey to the Sunshine Coast really begins. For forty minutes you will be enchanted by the scenery of fir and cedar treed islands against a backdrop of coastal mountains.

After docking it is a twenty-six kilometre drive (driving time approximately 30 minutes) on Highway 101 to the town of Sechelt. On the way you pass the fishing and beach combing village of Gibson's Landing, the 'gumboot' community of Roberts Creek and the self-governing Sechelt Indian Band to Sechelt with it's cafes, coffee houses and pubs.

From Sechelt it's a short drive along the water to A Place by the Sea

Entering Sechelt you come to the third set of lights: turn right onto Wharf Street. Continue along Wharf Street, go straight through a 4 way stop, all the way down past the marina and Lighthouse Pub and up the hill to the stop sign at Trail Ave. Turn right on Trail Ave for one block and then right again on Marine Way. Just continue along and look for our sign on the right hand side of the road. We are at 5810 Marine Way - we'll be waiting for you!
