Fall Colours West Coast Style - September & October

As warm sunny days coax vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow from the trees, a special event unfolds on the Sunshine Coast.   In an epic journey,  salmon  travel, often a thousand or more miles to their natal streams. The final stage of this journey is challenging and many do not survive, as the, battle against the current in mere inches of water, to deposit and fertilize the eggs of the next generation.  

This picture taken in a nearby creek, shows a female Humpback. Over the next 4 or 5 weeks the Humpbacks will be followed by Chum and Coho. Coracle Cove is celebrating Fall Colours - West Coast Style with a special offering:

• two nights in our waterfront suite and two great west coast breakfasts
• a complimentary guided tour of our favourite salmon spawning site
• mid-week getaways start at only $159/nt.
• choose from several nearby restaurants serving west coast seafood

Guided Birding Retreats - open dates

 If you're curious about birding, the Sunshine Coast is an excellent area to visit. A  wide variety of habitats, including estuaries, rocky shores, and woodland ponds, together with a mild maritime climate attracts a very large number of wintering waterbirds. These species are now returning in large numbers and offer great opportunities for close ups like the trio of Black Oystercatchers, shown above.

An enthusiastic birder and photographer, Jack will be offering complimentary guided birding tours this Fall - to see more of his bird photography follow this link.
