🚴‍♀️ Last weekend our bike rack was full.

Road cyclists, mountain bikers, weekend adventurers... it seems more and more people are discovering what locals already know: the Sunshine Coast is an incredible place to ride. 🌲🌊

Many cyclists make the journey from Vancouver, bringing their bikes on the ferry and riding the Coast's scenic roads all the way to Roberts Creek. 🚲⛴️

Base yourself here, spend the day exploring coastal roads, forest trails, and ocean views, then come back and relax before another day of adventure. ☀️

Don't have your own bike with you? We also offer complimentary bikes for guests to explore Roberts Creek and the surrounding area. 🚲

Whether you're riding for the challenge, the scenery, or simply the joy of being outdoors, we've got a place to rest between adventures.

Have you ridden the Sunshine Coast before?

A few little moments from around the creek lately 🌿

The trails are green again, the hammock afternoons are back, and things feel like spring on the coast again.

Quiet mornings, fresh air, coffee outside, hammok naps, time by the water… it’s a pretty good time of year to be here.
