Gibsons, Coastal town in Sunshine Coast, Canada
Located at the south end of British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, Gibsons extends from its marina area to commercial districts along the highway at 10 meters elevation.
George Gibson and his sons established this waterfront settlement in 1886, which transformed from Gibson's Landing into the present-day town of Gibsons by 1947.
The town gained recognition through CBC Television series The Beachcombers, filmed from 1972 to 1990, with Molly's Reach restaurant remaining a central attraction.
Visitors reach Gibsons via a 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, followed by a short drive from Langdale terminal.
In 2009, the International Awards for Liveable Communities recognized Gibsons as the best community under 20,000 residents worldwide.
