Our days here on the Sunshine Coast are really short in the fall and winter seasons. The sun goes down early in the afternoon and then it gets cold fast!
There are so many hiking safety tips to pay attention to. You can visit sites like NorthShoreRescue.com for help.
OK, “hike” is maybe a bit misleading – Burnett Falls Park near Sechelt was more of a short walk with a bit of an incline than it was an actual hike. But that didn’t make it any less enjoyable.
This waterfall is a bit of a hidden gem here on the Sunshine Coast. The trail and viewpoint was dedicated just a few years ago in February 2013 and finding good, detailed info on the park is hard to come by. But we’re nothing if not brave so we decided to take what knowledge we’d managed to assemble and ventured out into the vast British Columbia wilderness (aka - a 5-minute drive from downtown Sechelt)!

Join Paul and I as we check-out Paul Beach Access at 4119 Browning Road on BC’s Sunshine Coast.
Park along the road and walk a short 130 metres on a mostly flat path that takes you through the trees and to the ocean.
The beach is good for swimming and has lots of interesting rock formations. You have great views of Vancouver Island and the White Islets.
Thanks for watching,
Val

Some of the best beaches on BC’s Sunshine Coast are hidden away and easily missed if you’re not looking for the “beach access” signs along the highway or if you don’t have a handy-dandy map like we do (visit the link below to download a copy of said map).
***
Man oh man, BC's Sunshine Coast rarely fails to impress. Take Beach Access 17 for example. This path to the water from Highway 101 and Snodgrass Road (heh heh... Snodgrass...) is amazing for a couple of reasons.
1 - You walk down to the beach via this twisty-turvy path through the a lush bit of forest. It'd be a nice (albeit short) walk through the woods even if there wasn't the payoff of ocean access.
2 - How ridiculously dramatic is it to walk out of the trees and to discover that you have this wide stretch of secluded beach all to yourself?! It's like the reveal in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie!
We're told that when the tide is out, this beach has some pretty nice sand but during our visit, it was all rocks, all the time. Not a big deal but make sure wear something other than flippy-flops or your feet/ankles will hate you.
As you can see in the video, the water is crystal clear. The whole beach is absolutely gorgeous and on a clear day, there's no shortage of beautiful views.
We parked along Snodgrass Road and crossed down to the access point but there are a couple of hidden parking spaces on the ocean side of the highway. But be forewarned that road back up to the highway is fairly steep, even when driving. Be extra cautious when pulling back up onto the highway if you use these parking spots.

Taking our own advice, we ascended Soames Hill near Gibsons on BC's Sunshine Coast to experience Monday's partial solar eclipse. We weren't alone - there were roughly 20 other penumbra enthusiasts there for an unobstructed view of the sky.
Further south and across that big 'ol border, the entire sun hid behind the moon but here in southern BC, the sun was "only" 90 per cent covered. While there was a noticeable change to the amount of sunshine, the fade to darkness half-way through the video comes across as more dramatic than it really was.
The next similar eclipse on the Sunshine Coast won't be until 2045.
