Made up of Upper Gibsons, the retail and residential core, and the quaint village of Gibsons Landing, the town of Gibsons is built on a hill overlooking the panorama of Gibsons Marina, alive with fish boats, yachts and visitors to the scenic cedar pier and gazebo. Gibsons past claim to fame was Molly's Reach, the former studio set, now a popular cafe, where the CBC-TV series The Beachcombers was shot from 1972 to 1990. Today, visitors can browse the funky shops and boutiques of Molly's Lane, dine on fresh-caught seafood at local bistros and explore early First Nations, pioneer and maritime history at the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives. Visit Winegarden Waterfront Park for the weekend market, hike to the viewpoint at the top of Soames Hill or stroll Ocean Beach Esplanade for 180-degree ocean views.

Passenger ferries depart from Gibsons to idyllic Gambier and Keats Islands. Take a short drive east from Gibsons to Port Mellon, home of the oldest operating pulp and paper mill in BC and the largest employer on the Sunshine Coast.

It's easy to explore the Landing on foot, and the Heritage Walking Tour is a great way to discover some of the history of the town's beginnings. Ask at the Visitor Info Centre in Pioneer Park for walking tour maps as well as the Purple Banner Tour guide, leading you to the studios of local artists who welcome visitors.

Beach hop along Gower Point Road by car or bike to Bonniebrook and comb the pebble shoreline at Ocean Beach Esplanade, fly fish from shore and let the kids play and picnic.
