Take a water taxi over to this Jewel on the Sunshine coast, with it's Caribbean like white sands and remote, breezy atmosphere. Not much to do but relax.

Willingdon Beach Park
4845 Marine AveAnd coastal trail along front of town. Easy & interesting.
Great trail along the coast by the ferry or check out Mermaid Cove. At low tide, the rocky shoreline often has tidal pools with starfish, sea urchins, small fish and crabs. From the shore, killer whales and sea lions can sometimes be seen. Scuba diving provides a close-up look at the abundant marine life and a 3-metre bronze statue that was placed in the park through efforts of local scuba enthusiasts.
Has a public boat lauch too.

Tucked away just off the Powell River coast this Island has a remote ruggedness thats magical. Visit the Quarry pools to float around and soak up the sun or drive to Shelter Point regional park for an ice cream. A haven for artisans and hippies and iron, copper & gold mining.

Drinks & Nightlife
Townsite, the original town site, sports the oldest working movie theatre in Canada and the Townsite brewery for delicious local IPA beer. Get up close to the paper mill, the reason Powell River exists. Right next to Powell River, the shortest river in Canada and maybe the world.
