Location
Sunshine Ch'an Temple is located on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia in Canada. It is in a rural setting surrounded by natural beauty, ocean, and forests, yet close enough to Vancouver to make it easy to get to by either car or bus. The Sunshine Coast is a short 40 minute ferry ride away from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. Please note that ferry traffic, especially on weekends, can be very busy. If you come by car plan ahead and check departure times online.
