One of the world’s longest roads leads to this breathtaking B.C. village

The Pan-American Highway (named Highway 101 in parts of Canada and the U.S.) is considered the longest highway and “drivable road” in the world, stretching over 24,140 kilometres from northern Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina, according to the Guinness World Records. Highway 101 is a section stretching from B.C.’s Sunshine Coast to the south coast of Chile, and if you drive to “Mile 0,” you’ll reach the breathtaking village of Lund.

“End of the Road”

According to Sunshine Coast Tourism, the small coastal community is known as the “End of the Road,” located on the traditional territory of the Tla’amin, Klahoose, and Homalco First Nations. With just over 1,000 residents in the wider Lund area, the village is a true hidden gem.

Known for its calm waters, plentiful boating opportunities, and breathtaking views, Lund is any road-tripper’s dream destination. Visitors can best experience Lund by kayak, with tours taking them to unreal spots in Desolation Sound.

The warmest waters north of Mexico

Lund is the gateway to three marine parks, the popular Okeover Inlet, the famed Sunshine Coast Trail, and what’s known as the most beautiful island in the Salish Sea (Savary Island).
