Raft Cove Provincial Park

The park encompasses 787 hectares of coastal wilderness, featuring a crescent-shaped sandy beach, river estuary, and dense forests of western hemlock and red cedar.

The park, established in March 1990, contains an old trapper's cabin on the Macjack River's southern bank, belonging to Willie Hecht, an early Cape Scott settler.

The Pacific Ocean waves create consistent surfing conditions throughout the year, making this remote location a destination for board-surfing enthusiasts.

A 2-kilometer trail through coastal forest leads to the main beach, requiring visitors to carry drinking water and prepare for muddy, challenging terrain.

The park's location allows extended beach walks during low tides, while black bears, wolves, cougars, and river otters inhabit the surrounding wilderness.
