The Britannia neighbourhood is miraculous by design. With the waters of Howe Sound as its front yard and coniferous forest all around, this is a truly natural playground.

Peaks jut into the sky, waterfalls tumble, evergreens stretch to impossible heights and the ocean of Howe Sound runs deeper here than in any other waterway to the south.

Between the urban glamour of Vancouver and the 7,000 skiable acres of Whistler Blackcomb, the Sea to Sky Corridor represents a treasure trove of activity. Walk in the new local dog park, dive at Porteau Cove, take the family for a gondola ride and tubing adventure, or enjoy a summer swim at Browning Lake in Murrin Park. Take in brunch or an art exhibit in downtown Squamish. Hit the links at Furry Creek. Run in the smoke Bluffs or scale The Chief. Boat out to the bird sanctuary at Christie Island or watch happy seals sunning their bellies on Pam Rocks – all just minutes away.
