Here, the pace is slower, the locals are friendly, and the vibe is super relaxed. While the distance isn\u2019t long, you\u2019ll feel worlds away from the city. You\u2019ll be surrounded by mountains and ocean, artist\u2019s workshops, and farm to table eateries. Luckily, it&#8217;s only about an hour away from <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/locations\/vancouver-british-columbia\/\">Escape&#8217;s Vancouver, BC<\/a> depot.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting to the Sunshine Coast BC<\/h2>\n<p>From Vancouver, the only way to get to the Sunshine Coast BC is via a float plane or by ferry. The ferry to the Sunshine Coast leaves Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. It&#8217;s run by BC Ferries &#8211; the largest passenger ferry line in North America.<\/p>\n<p>There are sailings about every two hours departing to the Sunshine Coast. Note that in the summer months, especially weekends, the ferries fill up very quickly.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to arrive extra early or reserve online for a guaranteed spot. Reserving online costs $10 but is totally worth it when traveling over weekends!<\/p>\n<p>The crossing time to the Sunshine Coast BC is forty minutes. The cost per vehicle is $46.55 CAD (for <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/campervans\/big-sur\/\">Big Sur<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/campervans\/mavericks\/\">Mavericks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/campervans\/santa-cruz\/\">Santa Cruz<\/a> camper vans) and an additional $13.90 per adult, $6.95 for children aged 6-11, and free for children under 5 years old. The cost per vehicle for an <a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/campervans\/indie-camper\/\">Newport Camper<\/a> is $58.65 CAD (because it is taller than seven feet). The fee is only paid one way (from Horseshoe Bay to the Sunshine Coast).<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do on the Sunshine Coast<\/h2>\n<p>The Sunshine Coast BC is an outdoor-lover&#8217;s paradise. It has plenty of trails, beaches, and lakes to take advantage of. It also sports plenty of restaurants, cafes, and breweries to fuel your adventures. We&#8217;re talking home-baked goodies and the freshest ingredients. For those looking for a bit of retail therapy, you can\u2019t drive far without spotting a sign for a local artist\u2019s workshop or finding their wares in gift shops.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the Sunshine Coast\u2019s most popular activities, whether you\u2019re a tourist or a local.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":22907,"id":22907,"title":"mountain-bike-sprockids","filename":"mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","filesize":179977,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/de\/mountain-bike-sprockids-2\/","alt":"Mountain Bike Sprockids","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"mountain-bike-sprockids-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2019-07-12 21:04:51","modified":"2019-07-12 21:06:31","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":4032,"height":3024,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids-1200x900.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":900,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mountain-bike-sprockids.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<h3>Mountain Biking<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re an avid mountain biker and have the opportunity to bring your bike with you on your trip to the Sunshine Coast BC &#8211; do it!
