Welcome Beach
Welcome Beach is one of the rare sandy beaches on BC's Sunshine Coast, stretching 4.5 km along Highway 101 about 9 km north of Sechelt. You anchor off here and dinghy in to enjoy the beach — a surprisingly mellow stretch given how few sandy shores exist in this area. Trout Lake is just a short walk away if you fancy stretching your legs inland.
