Pender Hill

Pender Hill is a "must do" trail on BC’s Sunshine Coast. A short 30-minute hike will reward you with spectacular ocean views!

The trailhead is found in Garden Bay which is 45 minutes north of Sechelt. Once at the trail, you'll find a well-worn, uphill path that winds through forested land and lush, mossy vegetation.

There are a couple of short, steep sections where you’ll scramble up a rocky surface. If the rock is wet, remember to be extra careful. While not a difficult hike, it's not wheelchair accessible.

The top is mostly open and provides expansive views. Here you'll see Garden Bay, Pender Harbour, and Madeira Park. To the west is Georgia Strait and views of Texada and Vancouver Islands.
