Great view of water and mountains. Small friendly place that is easy to get around. Good parks, hiking and beach walks. Easy access to Powell Lake, Texada Island, Lund's art community as well as Savery Island.

Beautiful scenery, lovely beaches. Lots of trails for hiking. Very small town, not much for antiques or unusual stores. except for the one. Be prepared, it takes 2 ferries to get there from Vancouver, and they don't always run. People were friendly. The night sky is incredible, will definitely try to go back for next August's Perseid meteor shower!

Powell River is an interesting place on the Sunshine Coast. Within a short drive of it, both north and south, there is some amazing scenery and parks to visit. Powell River itself is more developed and is therefore not quite as scenic as the surrounding areas. But it has a large selection of local restaurants and shops, plus all the usual stores and restaurants you'd be used to from a bigger city. It's a nice place to visit to relax and it's a good stop-over place if you're travelling to/from other locations along the Sunshine Coast, or heading over to Vancouver Island.

Interesting quaint town. We really enjoyed Kay's cafe. Our waitress (brunette) was friendly and provided great service. The people overall were quite friendly. The Baseline restaurant run by Hipsters, although tasty, the breakfast bowls did not fill you up as there was too much salad content and not enough protein. We really enjoyed the Willingdon trail although the section that takes you to the Hulks ( 9 WW2 ships) is a little dusty and you have to watch for logging trucks.

I'm originally from Powell River and return every year to visit family and friends, so I am a bit biased. Having said that, I can't think of a better town or city for outdoor activities. Powell River has extensive hiking trails suitable for beginners up to experienced hikers. From Cranberry, just above the local graveyard, there is a short and easy hike up Valentine Mountain, where you can look down on the coastline, the mill and nearby islands. Powell River also has great commercial boat rides out of Lund (a short trip north of the town) and has some of the best scuba diving in the world. It is suitable for bicycling trips, and has many summer festivals, such as the Blackberry Festival and Logger Sports. Powell River, to my knowledge, is the only town in BC (possibly even Canada) to celebrate the importance of logging in its history. If you arrive by ferry from the Sechelt Peninsula, stop at Skeeter Jack's on the way in to town for some of the best fish and chips you will ever eat.

We enjoyed walking the trails and going up Valentine Mountain. The hulks and townsite were cool. We don't eat out much but enjoyed our meals in town ...a few good restauruants overlooking the water. Great for a long weekend trip. We decided to not take the car but the bus schedule was shotty. We wanted to go to Lund and visit Texada island but the bus only runs once or twice a week! You need a car to enjoy all that this coast has to offer.
“I loved the Keurig in the room! The room and bathroom were nice and modern, and the view is gorgeous. This is miles nicer than the Coast Town Centre hotel in the middle of town. And way cheaper too :)”
“Near new wonderful unit. Was great to be able to cook a meal with full stove etc. Supermarketi underneath a great facility.”
“Since the hotel was built over 100 years ago, the interior has a very unique atmosphere. New management is very good.”
“Old historic hotel, not fancy but a real rare opportunity to see this place before it gets renovated. Clean rooms and bed, but probably not recommended for the nit picker types.”
“In our opinion, this is the only place to stay when in Powell River.”
