From market pop-up, to food truck, to new permanent location, Salt & Swine is a local favourite that offers American style Mexican food made from scratch with fresh ingredients. We love to grab some salsa to take home after our meal!

Our first stop for local beer after a ferry ride. Lots of space to sit outdoors. We love to have a pint of the Nitro Dry Irish Stout to stay, take some cans of the Golden Goddess Ale to the beach, or fill a growler with the Black Lager.

This easy hike is about an hour drive up the coast. The Skookumchuk Narrows is a strait forming the entrance of Sechelt Inlet (that we're located on) where a standing wave is formed twice a day. Check the tide schedule to see surfers and kayakers during an extra large flood tide.
