The District of Sechelt sits on the traditional lands of the shishalh First Nation and is a central hub for the towns along the Sunshine Coast. Its vibrant downtown offers local shopping, dining, and a waterfront promenade offering sweeping views of Vancouver Island in the distance. Sechelt provides the Sunshine Coast’s only hospital and has a roster of modern community amenities. West Porpoise Bay, East Porpoise Bay, Sandy Hook and Tuwanek are quiet, picturesque communities that extend Sechelt beyond the downtown core.
