On the extreme west coast of Canada, off the rugged shoreline of mainland British Columbia Vancouver Island’s highest peak, the Golden Hinde rises above the Pacific Ocean to mark your arrival at a world away from ordinary. For hundreds of years giant Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, hemlock, and red cedar have crowded Vancouver Island’s temperate rainforests while Arbutus, Garry Oak, and manzanita have flourished in the drier climes of the south-eastern shores. This Island paradise is home to herds of Roosevelt elk, black bear, and the exclusive Vancouver Island marmot. Ocean-bound waterways are alive with spawning salmon, steelhead, and fresh-water trout. Endless lakes and seashores are ecosystems for kingfishers, sandpipers, and the bald eagle. Flocks of migratory birds and pods of whales navigate the 460 km length of the Island each season; funneled close to land by the multitude of Gulf Islands where tidewater runs uphill between narrow inlets. Equal to the Island’s beauty is the secluded stretch of the Sunshine Coast, on BC’s mainland, but distinct from any BC territory. If you are not already here, what are you waiting for?

Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast is not only a supernatural sanctuary; it is home to three quarters of a million people, the first were Coast Salish Nations. These First Nations have built everlasting cultures through fishing, hunting, carving, and weaving. Immigrants followed in search of livelihoods in forestry, mining, and fishing. They have since adapted to a changing world and established industries in tourism, agriculture, aquaculture, technology, and cultural fine arts. Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast are regions of action, of fortitude, of independence. Reflecting this unique character is Coast Realty Group, an independent Company that not only appreciates the west coast for its vast beauty, but for its People. Above all.
