While populous and frequently visited by tourists, the Sunshine Coast can be reached only by ferry (commonly BC Ferries) or by floatplane, as no access roads have been built around or across the fjords separating it from the rest of the province. It can also be reached via private or chartered aircraft using the Sechelt Aerodrome (CAP3).
