Britannia Beach

Britannia Beach occupies a narrow coastal strip on the eastern shore of Howe Sound in British Columbia. The former company town grew around the Britannia copper mine, which operated from 1904 to 1974 and became an important part of the province’s mining history. That legacy is preserved at the Britannia Mine Museum, centred on the landmark Mill No. 3 building. The steep Coast Mountains rise directly behind the settlement, while the Sea-to-Sky Highway follows Howe Sound towards Squamish and Vancouver.
