Hotels near Powell River Airport - YPW, Powell River

I was born and raised in Powell River, BC Their is so much to do and see one needs at least a month. Their is bed and breakfast here with amenities to die for. Hotels only one is good. Be careful for I was fooled. Many motels check them out first or ask locals. Fishing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking swimming, Very arts and crafts (many amazing talented people here) Great for outdoor sports . Still have the home town feel of friendly people that is hard to come by these days.

Lots of options for dining. We explored the area by jeep, looking for rec sites to camp at in the fall. Found lots of places. Inland Lake has a 13km walking trail around the entire lake, going to do that for sure. Locals mentioned the fishing is amazing in all the lakes

Powell River is a beautiful, well-kept place to visit. We have enjoyed the Historical Tour a lot. Another highlight, while waiting for the ferry was a walk to Costa de Sol Latin Cuisine where we had a wonderful outdoor lunch. There are great ocean views from many many places! We especially enjoyed the ferry trip from Saltery Bay to Earl's Cove and back, though with it being a busy summer day, the wait was long and hot in the Bay waiting area. Powell River is a bit locked-in as there are ferries to take in both directions, but we kept busy exploring for our two days. Travel around and on to the rest of the Sunshine Coast is a bit easier/quicker in the off-season, but we still enjoyed P River A LOT!!

Inland Lake was awesome. You need about 6 km drive off road, bou you will not regret the drive. Walking around the lake is not something to be missed. Take food with you and enjoy a relaxed meal after a good swim in the lake!

Powell River is great if you like to get away from the fast pace city life. There is very little traffic! There are lots of different beaches to explore. There are also hiking trails in the woods. On our drive to Lund we saw 2 different bears by the side of the road. Then when we went to Gibsons Beach on another day we saw 2 bears again. We also saw soaring bald eagles. There are nice restaurants in town. But we preferred to cook our own food. Willingdon Beach has a great playground for kids.

Powell River is an amazing place if you are a lover of the outdoors. While the town itself has all the amenities you want from garages to large grocery stores, a few restaurants and some beaches, the best of this part of BC's lower mainland only accessible by ferry or private plane is the scenic coastline, the shorefront, the parks, and the wildlife.
