Nestled in between Gibsons and Sechelt is the quaint Robert’s Creek. The vibrant arts community often has craft shows, live music, as well as lots of gorgeous scenery to take in. Go for a bite to eat at their beloved Gum Boot Restaurant or café. If you’re looking for a more unique style of accommodation, stay in an Airbnb micro cabin.
