Travel Info

Kayaking the Coast

Sechelt Inlet Provincial Marine Recreation Area

A popular sheltered inlet, there are many marine parks and small bays. Home to many marine birds and animals there is even the occasional killer whale to be spotted. Ensure that you time your trip with the tide changes in mind. Additionally on hot summer days the wind can really pick up in the inlet, making the return trip to your launching point a slow and difficult one (speak to your hosts - keen kayakers).

Smugglers Cove Provincial Park

This area earned it's name from its history of illegal chinese labour smuggling over a century ago. This tiny marine park is well protected and one of the most popular summer anchorages on the coast. This park also has some trails which can be road accessed, and a couple of camping spots. Look at the walk here.

North and South Thormanby Islands, Simson Marine Park

Offshore this is a pretty location and occupies much of South Thormanby Island and is only a 2 mile paddle from Halfmoon Bay. During low tide there is a large sandbar that connects North and South Thormanby islands. Beware the wind in Welcome Passage!

Buccaneer Bay Marine Park

This is located on the West side of North Thormanby Island and offers a nice spot for a break if you're planning on circling the islands.
