Beachside by the Bay
DAVIS BAY (Sechelt), SUNSHINE COAST, BC, CANADA
Adding to the therapeutic value, visitors to our neighbourhood treasure, Chapman Creek trails, will find a series of 'wood sprites' carved in old stumps and logs. It's fun and interesting to look for them and examine the carving detail.
You can walk to this trail network from Beachside, and spend a luxurious afternoon 'forest bathing', followed by a long soak in our ocean view hot tub, of course!
We guarantee you'll be heading back to urban life feeling renewed and transformed in your own special way. An amazing and free benefit of your Beachside getaway.
WELLNESS TRENDs
FOREST WALKS: A leisurely stroll through the forest has many health benefits. Between urbanization, multiple hours behind screens and over scheduling, our lifestyles increasingly take us further away from what our ancestors knew - the benefits nature has on our well-being. Taking time to enjoy a forest experience is rising in popularity.
"It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of the air, that emanation from the old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit." - Robert Louis Stevenson, Forest Notes, 1905
OUR BEACH EXPERIENCE:
Since the 1800's, doctors have recommended a trip to the beach as a prescription for many ailments. The number one benefit is stress relief. Soaking in the sounds of the waves, smell of the salt air, and sight of the sparkling blue water is calming, and helps release stress
Not only is serotonin almost immediately released, (serotonin is a key hormone for relaxation and happiness), but the sound and visuals of the beach and ocean are simply so soothing and peaceful.
At Beachside you'll experience ocean views right from your private unit, enjoy views and sunsets over the ocean from our hottub, or sit right at the waters edge on our huge beach deck for a magical experience.
