Many of our readers became
familiar with the Sunshine Coast, whether they knew
it or not, thanks to the CBC's longest running
television situation comedy series, " The
Beachcombers," starring Canada's own Bruno Gerusi
and his gang of colourful characters. Their main
hangout was Molly's Reach, which offered a
commanding view of the marina and harbourside
activities. The actual restaurant is still there at
the port of Gibsons, 40 minutes by ferry from
Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. Area activities
abound, and these include sailing, seaplane tours,
sea kayaking, mountain bike trail riding, fishing,
beachcombing, boating tours - you name it. Popular
tourist stops on the lower Sunshine Coast are
Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Sechelt, Pender Harbour,
Skookumchuck Rapids and Princess Louisa Inlet. The
arts community thrives here, as Sechelt, Sunshine
Coast, BC: Here comes the rain again, bringing back
the vibrant green glow to the Sunshine Coast. So
pull on your slickers and head out for some bird
watching along the lagoon at Ruby Lake Resort, on
BC‚s Sunshine Coast. Ruby Lake Resort, an
eco-resort and Italian restaurant, is offering a
„Fall into the Sunshine Coast‰ getaway
from October 18th to December 12th (excluding
holidays). Guests stay, starting from $CDN 160 per
night (double occupancy) and enjoy a three-course
set-menu dinner and a continental breakfast for two
along with a one hour canoe rental. Applicable

lies just a 45-minute ferry ride from Vancouver,
yet its appeal is in its slow pace of life and
unspoiled landscape. Ruby Lake Resort is the
perfect launching pad for exploring the peninsula.

Caren Range, cycle along the Sun Coaster Trail, or
explore the coastline by boat or kayak. Some choose

Resort. Ruby Lake
Resort‚s Italian restaurant adopts its Fall
