Furry Creek is one of those places that feels like a secret, even when you know exactly where it is. Tucked along Howe Sound between Lions Bay and Britannia Beach, it sits right on the Sea to Sky Highway, yet life here feels peaceful, protected and deeply connected to the landscape.

People are often drawn here first by the obvious beauty, the sparkling ocean views, lush forested hillsides, famous golf course, mountain backdrop and the way the light moves across Howe Sound. But what makes Furry Creek truly special is the feeling of community. This is the kind of place where neighbours wave as you drive by, stop to say hello on a walk, care for gardens, look out for one another, and plan events that bring people together.

There are small discoveries everywhere. A tunnel under the highway leads you toward the water, where a walk through the forest opens to the beach and shoreline. The golf course winds through the community and down toward Howe Sound. Nearby Porteau Cove offers camping, diving, paddling, shoreline days and beautiful stargazing, while the broader Howe Sound landscape is part of the Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere Region, a powerful reminder of the ecological richness and recovery of this coastline.

Furry Creek is not a busy village centre or a traditional town. It is something quieter and rarer, a scenic, close-knit residential community shaped by nature, stewardship, outdoor living and the feeling that people genuinely care about the place they call home.
