Gibson Marine Provincial Park, Provincial park in Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Canada
Gibson Marine Provincial Park encompasses 143 hectares of coastal land on Flores Island, featuring sheltered anchorage in Matilda Inlet and natural warm springs.
The provincial park, established on November 13, 1967, includes remnants of an old telegraph line and a former homestead connecting to Whitesand Cove.
