Best Park in Canada

P	Peter McLorg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Two separate beaches on each side of the park complete with great views of the Salish Sea and the Nanimo /Duke point area.
P	Peggy Richardson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our go-to family picnic spot. Tables on either side, but we prefer the ones on the east/south side, where the bay is narrower and it's easy to keep track of small children. Wide tidal flats are awesome for beachcombing and playing. We do bring the dogs, but keep them tied up carefully. (Bring baggies - there is no dispenser here.) We bring our mini tabletop propane BBQ as well, which is allowed. Good cell reception here also means that I can work from here on warm days. The bobs floating out in the bay mark crab traps. If you want to do any crabbing, you will need a small boat, but I understand it's quite good here. The lawn on the west side has a large cottonwood with a rope swing. Plenty of sun and perfect spot to launch a kayak, paddle board or even small boat, if you can carry it in.

T	Trevor Richardson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ park is nice but limited parking. dog are supposed to be on leash, but of course owners don’t follow this. picnic tables, outhouses and sand. would be a nice place in the summer, too bad it’s november
A	Alex Storie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a peaceful, magical place. Clean, clear water ? & great for families ?
R	Ryan Pan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s a good park with beach on both east and west side. We stayed at the east side in the afternoon, so it got plenty of shaded area, which is nice. I do also think that the east side have a more fine white sand, than the west side. There’s also plenty of picnic tables on both side, and the west side has a large open field before you get to the beach.
L	Lsquared A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its lovely..theres free wifi and really the best place to find a cell signal too. You can see seals often along with eagles and various birds. Best at low tide in my opinion
J	Jeremy C Barnhart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I lived here (just around the corner) and enjoyed so many wonderful, sun-soaked summers. While the park tends to flood out and often retains water - sometimes becoming a mucky mess - there's no disagreement that it's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon! And the fact you've got two beautiful beaches on either side is the icing on the cake!
