Spring

Summer
Summer is one the the most favoured seasons on the Coast, with its long days enjoyed by all. The sun rises early and sets late, and the entire day is filled with wonderful balmy breezes that flow through the forests.
The waters welcome you with refreshing coolness. Take part in the many summer events, concerts, festivals, and markets throughout the Coast. Activities you can always enjoy in the summer include:
Autumn
The cooler autumn season allows mountain bikers, motorbike riders and car fanatics to enjoy leisurely rides through the country and back roads paved with the vibrant colours of fall leaves.
Our surrounding area has mountain trails suited for all levels and ages through the provincial parks, allowing spiritual connections with nature.
Tread on fallen leaves of various hues, discover the many varieties of wild flowers and forest mushrooms – a coastal tradition in the fall.
Picturesque golf courses provide an opportunity to test your skills in an invigorating setting.
Join the coastal folk in their continuous enjoyment of the autumn season where one can enjoy a vast array of local music, arts, and crafts.
Winter
During the winter you can have the best of both worlds on the Sunshine Coast: ski or snowshoe at higher elevations before returning to the mild rainforest at your doorstep.
Davis Brook Retreat is just a stone’s throw away from the access road to the Tetrahedron Provincial Park – favoured by outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year.
Alternatively, visit the museums and art galleries, dine at several fine restaurants, or attend indoor performances presented by local and visiting musicians.
At the end of your day relax and take in the fresh air while enjoying the outdoor hot tub, catch up on some R&R in your private suite, or enjoy a good book and a peaceful evening in from the cold.
