Beautiful location. Provincial Park nearby. Nice beaches. Very sheltered for boats. There are mooring buoys, but on busy weekends they get taken early.

Wonderful park with a lot of outdoor activities to enjoy hiking, biking or camping. Has an easy comfortable trail to reach the gorgeous white sandy beach. Enjoyed admiring the amazing views, watching the sailing boats, the serene ocean, and flying birds until sunset. It was a rewarding and relaxing feeling to commune with nature.

Great camping experience. There is a platform where you can place your tent with hooks to secure it. Quiet, washroom are pit but super clean, with toilet paper and Sanitizer. Close the lid, after use it as per kind request of the Park, so it stay clean. There is drinking water, no electricity. The uphill camping sites are the best. They are close to the trail and the beaches. Although, there is a small catch, in order to access the sites uphill, you have to bring your staff with a baril provided from the park. There is free parking at the bottom. To keep the quiet and healthy the Park, vehicles are not allowed up there, but it's totally worthed. Cheap to rent , also there is a group site with a covered area with picnic tables. Each site has a picnic table and platform, some sites have 2 platform for 2 tents or morenif your tentbis small. Our tent was big, sleeps 4, And from the pictures we had a smal walking area in front. There are no bears in the island, only racoons and bears, the site has also a lock box for your food to save it from the racoons, that visit in the night, but are discreet. The beaches are white from all the small broken shells. There is a beautiful trail and if you go around early in the morning when there isbthe tide, you can see the marine life, crabs, and starfish. We loved it.
