55 km · Full dayModerateRide with trafficMostly paved

A ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay lands you in Gibsons, where rides run from a 4 km esplanade amble to a 55 km day taking in the Ocean Beach Esplanade, quiet forested roads toward Port Mellon, and connections down the coast to Roberts Creek. The town's brewery and harbour cafes anchor the start and finish. The hills are real on the longer options, and the highway stretches carry traffic.
