Gibsons/Sunshine Coast summary
Gibsons is a coastal community of 4,000 located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on the Strait of Georgia. It is the main marine gateway to the Sunshine Coast.
Approximately a forty minute ferry ride from Vancouver and accessible by water or air, Gibsons played host to the long-running CBC television series, The Beachcombers, and
was also the filming location for Needful Things starring Max von Sydow and Ed Harris.
The town and region are experiencing rapid growth and development. The pulp-and-paper industry, forestry and fishing are primary sources of revenue.
The town was established in 1886 by George Gibson and his sons. It was incorporated in 1929 as "Gibson's Landing," and in 1947 the name was changed to "Gibsons" at the
request of the residents.
