Vancouver Island French Beach Provincial Park

BC Parks - French Beach French Beach Provincial Park is one of the smaller Provincial Parks on Vancouver Island. But what French Beach Provincial Park lacks in size, it more then makes up for in wilderness and wildlife viewing opportunities. French Beach Provincial Park is 59 hectares of forests packed with Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Cedar and some Sitka Spruce trees.

A short meandering wheel chair accessible hiking trail leads to the beach. Once at French Beach there is a great opportunity to see many species of marine animals. Time your seasons right and you might get a glimpse of the migrating whales heading north for food or catching them on the rebound heading south for warmth.

French Beach Provincial ParkFrench Beach is a popular spot for families and locals in the summer time. Many of which take the advantage of the opportunity to go swimming. All year it is a great spot to watch wildlife change with the seasons. There are often photographers and bird watchers with binoculars hoping to catch a sighting of their favourite marine moment.

Bald Eagles, Ravens, and Osprey patrol the skies. In the distance under the right conditions the Sea Lions will surface and Seals will frolic off the coastline for all to see. Come enjoy the marine views of French Beach and the surrounding forests filled with looming trees and their fallen siblings among the ferns, salal and wildflowers.
