Park Guide
Beachcomber Regional Park
Nanoose bay, BC
Nestled at the tip of Nanoose Bay’s Beachcomber Peninsula, Beachcomber Regional Park is a serene coastal hideaway that feels far removed from everyday hustle.
this intimate one-hectare park offers spectacular views over Craig Bay, Mount Arrowsmith and the Strait of Georgia.
Its short forest trails wind through arbutus, Douglas‑fir, and Garry oak woodland before opening onto rocky shorelines where tide pools teem with starfish and crabs at low tide.
Despite its compact size, this natural gem offers a captivating mix of woodlands and shoreline charm—Arbutus, Douglas-fir, and Garry oak trees stand above gently winding paths that lead to rocky terraces overlooking the Strait of Georgia and distant coastal mountains.
At low tide, those rocky ledges reveal colorful tide pools teeming with marine life like crabs, starfish, and sea anemones. Visitors can expect a quiet, immersive experience: park your car at a small gravel lot, wander through shaded forest trails to a secluded bench beside the water, and absorb panoramic views across the bay. With no structured amenities beyond simple benches and a vault toilet, the park is perfect for contemplative retreats, nature photography, or a peaceful stroll amid the whisper of sea and sky—best enjoyed from late spring through early autumn when the light is soft, the air is warm, and nature’s small wonders are at their peak.
For those seeking a small, natural retreat with coastal flair, Beachcomber Regional Park offers a beautifully simple yet unforgettable experience.
