Transportation

The Sunshine Coast Highway (Highway 101) stretches from the Langdale Ferry Terminal to Lund on the Powell River peninsula, and is maintained by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Highways. Within the Town of Gibsons boundaries, the highway is known as Gibsons Way. Port Mellon Highway stretches from Langdale Ferry Terminal to the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper facility at Port Mellon. The highway is a major truck route for goods arriving by BC Ferries or by barge (offloaded at Hillside Industrial Park on the Port Mellon Highway).

BC Ferries offers passenger, car and commercial truck ferry service from Horseshoe Bay, with sailings every other hour from 7:20 a.m. to 9:20 p.m. (From Langdale, sailings are every other hour from 6:20 a.m. to 8:20 p.m.) See www.bcferries.com for schedules, fare information, etc.
