Beaches and Coasts

Vancouver Island’s western and southern shorelines feature a diverse mix of expansive sandy stretches and rugged gravel shores. Within the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, Long Beach spans 16 kilometers, while Chesterman Beach and Cox Bay are central hubs for cold-water surfing. Further south, French Beach offers views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Olympic Mountains. These coastal sites are characterized by temperate rainforest borders, significant tidal ranges, and driftwood-strewn banks shaped by North Pacific swells.
