Nearby Parks

Linley Valley

Explore 400 acres and miles of trails crisscross the moss covered rocky knolls with ocean views and deep forest valleys, and anyone looking for relaxing or challenging bike rides or hikes through the forest and hilltops would do well to check it out.

Neck Point

Visitors will find rugged rock cliffs, with pebble bay beaches, and winding trails through Garry Oak groves. The headland area in the north section of the park is a great spot to watch for Orca and Sea lions and otters. During herring season the beach is awash with the roe (January).

Pipers Lagoon

Watch the lagoon empty almost completely when the tide goes out, leaving a nutritious muck that attracts all kinds of bird life. Swimming and wading along the beach and driftwood logs is refreshing year round.
