Welcome to Egmont, BC!

Egmont sits on the Sechelt Inlet, a short drive up the Sunshine Coast from the ferry port city of Langdale. The seaside village was the background for the television series Ritter's Cove, and sits in the shadow of Mount Churchill. A gateway to Skookumchuk Narrows Provincial Park, Skookum is a Chinook word for strong and chuk means water. The Skookumchuk Rapids surge through the narrows during a 3 m (10 ft) tide change twice daily, causing 200 billion gallons of water to explode upwards into standing waves and be sucked into bottomless whirlpools, an extreme destination for experienced kayakers. Viewing times are posted at the Skookumchuk's parking lot, and the lookout points of North Point and Roland Point are an easy walk away.

For more experiences with nature, the nearby Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park has been called the "most scenic natural anchorage" in the world, and is home to the powerful Freil and Chatterbox Falls. Egmont is the departure point for the challenging Princess Louisa to Sims Creek Traverse, and the Harmony Islands are popular for yacht charters and canoeing.
