Waterfall Wedding Locations On The Sunshine Coast
Our favourite adventure elopement and west coast wedding venues are in the heart of nature, and when it comes to a Sunshine Coast wedding there is nothing more stunning than a waterfall wedding ceremony. With so many stunning waterfall locations to choose from, we wanted to highlight three of the most popular, and more familiar waterfalls on the Sunshine Coast for your wedding or elopement.
Our Three Favourite Waterfall Wedding Locations
1. Homesite Creek Waterfall
Located in Halfmoon Bay via a brief 10-12 minute walk from Highway 101 is one of our favourite waterfalls locations on the Sunshine Coast. This location is ideal for your waterfall wedding if you are looking for an adventure wedding and want to be in the heart of nature. The sun filters through the lush green foliage as you walk past lagoons and large rock formations towards the waterfalls. Depending on the season and how adventurous you are, the creek can be crossed to get married with the waterfalls in the background. This location is best in the spring or fall because the water level of the falls is lowest in the dry months of the summer. Unfortunately, there are no toilets or other facilities directly at this location, but it is only a short distance from the quaint harbour of Secret Cove.

2. Cliff Gilker Park
The Cliff Gilker Park and the Clack Creek waterfall are in Roberts Creek between Gibsons and Sechelt, directly off Highway 101. While there are many west coast wedding locations to choose from at this park. The most picturesque is near the Clack Creek waterfall which is a short walk from the large parking lot and has access to a large washroom block and ample parking. The park is popular with locals and can get busy on weekends with dog walkers and families using the attached sports fields and playground. The trails throughout the park are extensive and offer many different photo opportunities for your Sunshine Coast waterfall wedding. If you are not concerned with getting your dress or feet wet, you could easily access the bottom of the waterfall or stay at the fast-flowing top. This waterfall is a great option any time of the year as there is always water flowing through the creek.

3. Chatterbox Falls
Chatterbox Falls is our most recommended adventure elopement location for a waterfall wedding ceremony. The falls remote location is only accessible by floatplane or boat through one of our travel partners. This waterfall location is stunning, with 2100-meter granite cliffs that frame the 40-meter falls descending into the Princess Louisa Inlet. The falls are a short walk on a very accessible trail from the dock. The flow of water from Loquilts River can vary, and we never know how close you can get before getting wet from the spray of the descending water. Over 100 waterfalls cascade into the Pacific Ocean along the journey to Chatterbox falls from the Sunshine Coast. This is certainly a bucket list trip if you are a waterfall lover!
