Hesquiat Peninsula Provincial Park, Provincial park in Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Canada

The Hesquiat Peninsula Provincial Park extends across 7,888 hectares of coastal rainforests and rocky shorelines along Vancouver Island's western coast.

The park establishment occurred through an order-in-council on July 12, 1995, following the implementation of the Clayoquot Land-Use Decision.

The name derives from the Hesquiaht group of Nuu-chah-nulth peoples, who maintained deep connections with this land through generations.

Access to the park requires boat or float plane transportation, as there are no road connections or designated facilities within its boundaries.

The Estevan Point lighthouse within the park area experienced an attack from Japanese submarine I-26 during World War II.

Location: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District
