My B&B guests hiked into the waterfalls at Homesite Creek this past weekend and gave it a definite two thumbs up. So the next day we set off with our backpack loaded with camera and a picnic lunch to check it out.
Homesite Creek is located north of Sechelt in Halfmoon Bay. Follow Highway 101 about 3km past the north end of Redroffs Road and watch for the small sign on the left of the highway. Take the trail to the left and follow the small arrows. You’ll reach the falls in about 20 minutes.
The hike is best in the late Winter/early Spring when there’s lots of water flowing in the creek, and there was a pretty strong flow when we were there. We 
could feel a definite force of air when we were down beside the falls, and it was a bit of a challenge creating these images without too much mist fogging up my lens.
We followed an easy trail up to the top of the falls where I was able to compose this third image using a very slow shutter speed to exaggerate the movement of the water. This was also a 
good place for us to stop for our picnic lunch. We could enjoy the both the sight and sounds of the moving water as well as the verdant green of the moss-draped cedars in the mist-filled air above the falls.
This was another great hike and met all of the criteria to be included in the Everything Sunshine Coast Favourite Activities List – it’s just a short drive away; it can be done in under an hour; and you’ll enjoy some magnificent scenery.
