The Landing in Gibsons

The harbour area known as the Landing is home to Molly's Reach, famous as the setting for the popular CBC-TV series The Beachcombers. Stroll along the pier to the beautiful log wharfinger building and the gazebo for great views. Just a few steps away, the seawalk skirts the harbour and winds around to the marina. On these waters you see a wide variety of craft, from fishboats to luxury yachts. Sign on with a charter to cast your line, learn to sail or rent a kayak for a leisurely paddle. Winegarden Waterfront Park is home to free outdoor summer concerts and the weekend market where local artisans display their wares.

'Introduction to Gibsons' Video

Molly's Reach, for two decades (1971-1990) the setting for the CBC TV series The Beachcombers, is the most famous spot in Gibsons. Fans will want to stop in for a bite and take a peek at all the show memorabilia. It's easy to explore the Landing on foot, and the Heritage Walking Tour is a great way to discover some of the history of the town's beginnings. Ask at the Visitor Info Centre in Pioneer Park for walking tour maps as well as the Purple Banner Tour guide, leading you to the studios of local artists who welcome visitors.

The one-of-a-kind shops, galleries and restaurants of the Landing add to the charm of this harbourside town. The main post office is here, as well as the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives, a public library and the town hall. Rest for a spell on a log bench in Winegarden Waterfront Park, overlooking the harbour. From May to September, take in one of the many free outdoor concerts and the Weekend Market where you can take home a locally made treasure!
