Magnolia Cabin Guidebook for Things to do on the Sunshine Coast
Hikes and Trails
Francis Point Provincial Park is a short drive away from the cabin. It offers magnificent views of the water and nearby islands. The hike is relatively short and flat, starting as you walk by enormous cedar and fir trees, alternating between forested and open space, and ending beside a colony of gigantic arbutus trees, and a small lighthouse. A must visit for lovers of short walks with scenic views.

This is our absolutely favorite place to visit in the summertime. A very large fresh water lake and with sandy beaches, perfect for a full day out. Pack your bathing suits and floaties and hop on a short 30min drive to the lake. It is a popular area and space islimited, so maybe go early (or later in the day) to make sure you have a spot.

You can't miss this one. It's on your way to the cabin. Make sure to stop by for a stroll by the beach and snap some photos. During summer, you can jump off the pier and swim back to the beach. Also, across from the Bay, there are couple of great local restaurants to check out.
