Vancouver proposal getaway! Romance doesn't have to be far away. Just a 40-minute ferry ride from West Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast feels like a world apart. One of the few places that are peaceful, scenic, and deeply romantic. It's a place where ocean air mingles with cedar-scented forests, and where countless couples have found the perfect moment to say "yes." From an intimate surprise to a grand gesture, here are some of the most romantic places on the coast where we think you can propose in winter and are easily accessed from Vancouver, BC.
Bonniebrook Beach
Romantic simplicity never goes out of style. At Bonniebrook Beach, its long stretch of shoreline and endless ocean views give you that quiet intimacy that's totally built for love. This is one of the beaches that is loved by the locals.
Imagine a picnic at a sunset with local wine, the soft sea breeze, and waves rolling in gently as you share your moment. It's effortless, timeless, and deeply personal.
Tip: Bring candles or fairy lights to make the moment glow after dusk.
Soames Hill Viewpoint, Gibsons
Soames Hill is a locally favored spot for the romantic adventurer and panoramic views that take your breath away. This short, refreshing climb rewards with stunning views of Gibsons Harbour, Keats Island, and the glittering Strait of Georgia.
With the sun setting, the light turns golden and wraps you both in a soft glow as you ask her the most important question of your life.
Why we think it's perfect: The stillness up top is cinematic, private, and beautiful, -a perfect setting to pop the question for a heartfelt proposal.
Cliff Gilker Park
If you are drawn to quiet beauty of the forest, then Cliff Gilker Park will steal your heart. Wooden bridges, moss-covered trails, and cascading waterfalls make this almost feel a bit enchanted.
Find a secluded spot near one of the waterfalls and let nature bear witness to your promise. The sound of rushing water and dappled sunlight filtering through trees create an unforgettable setting.
Why we think it's perfect: It's serene, private, and feels just like a fairy tale.
Porpoise Bay Provincial Park

Bonus: Easy access and tranquil surroundings make this one of the most convenient, yet romantic, proposal spots on the Sunshine Coast.
Skookumchuck Narrows
Skookumchuck Narrows is a truly unforgettable for those who love dramatic natural beauty. You will end up overlooking the powerful tidal currents swirling through the channel after a scenic forest walk.

Smuggler Cove Marine Provincial Park
Smuggler Cove is one of the Sunshine Coast's best-kept secrets. The trail winds down through lush forests and opens up to an ocean view that's yours alone.
Set up a picnic overlooking the water, pour a glass of champagne, and let the serenity of the cove surround you as you propose.
