INTRODUCTION
Sometimes you just can't stop people from having fun! The winter weather doesn't seem to have put a damper on things happening on the Sunshine Coast, whether it's people swimming in the ocean (Polar Bear Swim), or having a concert or art show. Going Coastal Magazine was designed to show people how busy the Sunshine Coast is, and the communities from Langdale through Gibsons and Powell River to Lund make it very easy! Monthly Events

The above Youtube video is a slideshow film put together by Duane Burnett from his huge collection of coastal pictures. On his home website and supplemental page on Flickr you can find over 5000 images of life on the Sunshine Coast.

We at Going Coastal plan on letting the world know about the Sunshine Coast and how fabulous it is thanks to the people and nature. Not only are we available online with articles, pictures, and information listings, but we also have a monthly print format distributed from Langdale through Powell River and into Lund. Email us if you'd like to request a copy by mail! goingcoastal@telus.net

Articles and photographs appearing in the magazine and on the website are protected by copyright. Please request permission from goingcoastal@telus.net to use our images or stories.

ADVERTISING
Advertisers in Going Coastal Magazine, Going Coastal Arts Newsletter and the Langdale to Lund Calendar of Events receive a complimentary banner or tower ad on the website with a link to their own site. For more information or to request a media kit please contact Heather (goingcoastal@telus.net) or call 604-886-0905.

ARTICLES
Articles from the print version of Going Coastal are all archived online, and are updated from time to time so the information remains current.

MAP
We admit they aren't as good as anything done by AAA, but it will help to give the prospective traveller an idea of where to go. Some times a tourist might come to the Sunshine Coast, following a relative's directions to Granthams Landing, unfortunately ending up in Sechelt, when the destination was right next to the ferry after all. This map should help a little at least.

LINKS & INFO
Though we try to put as much information as possible on this web site, there are still other pages that do it far better. Links to those pages can gain you more specific regional information, such as tide tables or where to find a boat launch.


EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
There is a great deal going on on the Sunshine Coast, and although we may not be able to keep the information current at this point in time (working for the government, eBay, etc), you can still view our info to get an idea of just what might be happening at any one time. Event listings on the calendar are free - contact goingcoastal@telus.net with your information, and we will try to list it or make an article about it as soon as possible.

STUDIOS / GALLERIES
Artists abound on the Sunshine Coast, and although the galleries may be placed where they are easily seen, some of the studios are not so lucky. Many artists will allow art "buffs" to look through their studios and perhaps even commission works based on preliminary sketches that are up on a wall. This page lists their current (hopefully) contact information so travellers can set up appointments.

COASTAL MUSIC
The Sunshine Coast grows it's own music. It flows along many different lines, with rock bands and DJs playing at dances, and the jazz and blues artists taking part in their own festivals. Many musicians have CDs (or even tapes!) available for purchase. This page lists the artists, their current albums & prices, and how to contact them.

COASTAL AUTHORS
For those people that enjoy reading about the coast more than looking at a painting of it there are a selection of local writers working to fill them in. Their books can be bought directly from them, or if you are in the area you can probably also pick up some copies from the Writers Festival. Wide variety of styles and literary levels, there is an abundance to choose from.
