Beach Gardens Resort & Marina

What Beach Gardens Resort & Marina does

Beach Gardens Resort & Marina is a privately held, integrated hospitality business operating from a single waterfront property at 7074 Westminster Street in Powell River, British Columbia, on Canada's Upper Sunshine Coast. The company was founded in Powell River and operates as a destination venue combining oceanfront hotel accommodations, a 55-slip full-service marina, on-site food and beverage, an on-site boutique distillery, and wedding/event venues. The property is accessible by ferry (BC Ferries) and flight (Pacific Coastal Airlines), positioning it as a destination rather than transit stop.

The core offering is a two-vertical integrated resort: (a) an oceanfront hotel with private-patio guest rooms, packaged offerings such as the Marina Moorage Plus Package (starting at $259 plus taxes per night), and (b) a 55-slip marina at Grief Point offering transient and permanent moorage with seasonal pricing ($1.55–$1.75/ft plus $10/day hydro). The marina is positioned as a strategic stopover between Vancouver and Desolation Sound. Ancillary revenue streams include the award-winning Seasider Bistro + Wine Bar + Patio (contemporary West Coast fare, open Wednesday–Sunday), the Salish Sea Spirits Distillery (handcrafted gins and vodkas), a Cold Beer & Wine Store at the marina, and three waterfront wedding and event venues. The technology stack is standard hospitality tooling: a Squarespace website, a third-party booking engine (onressystems.com), and a live marina camera feed for remote viewing.

The business model is direct-to-consumer across multiple channels: toll-free phone reservations (1-800-663-7070), online self-serve booking, walk-ins, and packaged offerings. Customer segments include leisure travelers, wedding couples and parties, and transient/permanent marina boaters. The company is sole owner of three operating subsidiaries (Seasider Bistro, Beach Gardens Beer & Wine Store, Salish Sea Spirits Distillery) and maintains referral partnerships with regional tourism organizations (Sunshine Coast Tourism, Discover Powell River), ferry/airline access providers, and local adventure operators (Terracentric Coastal Adventures, Myrtle Point Golf Club, Beartooth Charters, Salish Sea Dive Shop, Townsite Brewing). No financial data, ownership structure, headcount, or founding date is publicly disclosed.

Regional players
