Vargas Island Provincial Park, Provincial park on Vargas Island, British Columbia

Vargas Island Provincial Park is a protected area on the Pacific coast featuring sandy beaches, coastal forests, and tidal zones. The park includes both upland forests and extensive foreshore areas that remain undeveloped.

The area became a protected park in 1995 as part of a regional land-use decision for Clayoquot Sound. This designation reflected efforts to preserve the coastal landscape and its ecosystems.

The island's name refers to Diego de Vargas, who regained New Mexico for Spain in 1693–94. The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation has used the lands and waters of Clayoquot Sound, including Vargas Island, for food and shelter since long before the park's creation. The park lies within the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO in 2000.

Access is by boat or kayak from Tofino; there is no ferry or road to the island. The park has no facilities, so bring camping gear, food and water, and store all food out of reach of wildlife. Camp only in designated areas and pack out all trash.

The island is named for Diego de Vargas, who regained New Mexico for Spain in 1693–94. After two wolves attacked a sleeping camper on July 2, 2000, both animals were killed, and food must now be stored out of reach of wildlife.
