Tribune Bay Provincial Park

Tribune Bay Provincial Park is a provincial park on Hornby Island featuring a crescent-shaped beach with white sand, shallow turquoise water, and surrounding forest areas. The shoreline and interior trails offer visitors a mix of beach and woodland exploration.

The name comes from HMS Tribune, a British naval ship that patrolled British Columbia waters in 1859-1860 and returned again in 1864. This vessel connection gave the bay its enduring name.

The K'ómoks First Nation traditionally used this area for fishing and gathering resources from both land and water environments.

The site has restrooms, parking areas, and multiple beach access points for easy navigation. The best time to swim and explore is during warmer months when water conditions are most pleasant.

An expansion project added more forest and beach areas to the protected land, making the park larger than it was previously. This growth also linked new sections to nearby camping facilities.
