Davis Bay Travel Guide

Welcome to Davis Bay!

Located along the Sunshine Coast in western British Columbia, life really is a beach at Davis Bay. The small, sleepy community is best known for its long pebbled beach and the stunning views across Georgia Strait to Vancouver Island. A haven for beach dwellers, the esplanade is popular for strolling but especially so every May when the community hosts a yearly kite-flying display and later in July when the kid in everyone can join in its annual sand castle competition. An old wooden pier is a landmark in the area and is popular with swimmers and anglers. The former hit the waves officially during the annual New Year—s Day Polar Bear Swim while the latter fish from the pier or via sport fishing charters that operate in the area. Davis Bay—s charm, however, extends beyond the sand. Marine tours leave from the area to view the impressive coastline and share the water with its other admirers, among them kayakers, windsurfers and divers. Inland, the Chapman Creek Nature Trail is a popular hiking and biking trail that offers fun along the way as more than a dozen gnomes, carved from tree stumps by a local sculptor, are encountered along the path.
