Nine separate neighbourhoods make up Gibsons, BC and each has its own personality and feel. Today we’re visiting the Upper Gibsons Commercial Area.

As the name implies, Upper Gibsons is higher up and further from the ocean than Lower Gibsons. Highway 101 slices through the middle of the neighbourhood with businesses and restaurants lining each side of the road.

Upper Gibsons is the commercial and industrial centre of the town. This is where you’ll find Sunnycrest Mall, Sunshine Coast Credit Union, and RE/MAX City Realty’s Gibsons office.

At the western edge of Upper Gibsons is Gibsons Park Plaza which is home to one of three local grocery stores as well as the medical clinic. 

Because Highway 101 is a major thoroughfare, it’s one of the busiest streets in Gibsons. While this can be less than ideal for commuters, it’s good news for the businesses that call Upper Gibsons home.
