Driving
The Sunshine Coast Highway (Highway 101) is a fairly level but winding route. If you don't know the road, don't speed; sharp corners may surprise you. If you're not comfortable driving at the speed as other traffic, please take advantage of a pullout to let it safely pass. Passing lanes are infrequent.
Always watch for wildlife. Deer may pop out onto the road anywhere, and Roosevelt elk are regulars in Kleindale.

Bicycling
If you must cycle the Sunshine Coast Highway, do so with caution! Pullouts are few, visibility is often restricted by turns and some sections of the Sunshine Coast Highway (Hwy. 101) lack shoulders.
We recommend taking advantage of occasional manicured routes constructed off-highway, but you cannot cycle to Pender Harbour without traveling on Hwy. 101.
