Description

This small park offers lovely views across to Mayne Island and more distant views to Washington State. The wildflowers are supposed to be very lovely here in the spring.

There is a short trail that loops from the parking area around the western perimiter of the park and heads along the coast. It leads to a sandstone outcrop which you can wander down to the shore - use caution if the rocks are slippery. The trails then heads back up the rocks to the parking area.

This trail features beaches, flowers, forests (Arbutus and Garry oak) and views.
