Miracle Beach Provincial Park

Miracle Beach Provincial Park sits along Vancouver Island's eastern shore with sandy beaches, tidal flats, and forests of Douglas fir and Western hemlock. The area features diverse habitats that transition from shoreline to forested sections.

The park was established in 1950 when the provincial government purchased about 57 hectares from Frank Pottage, who had intended to develop it for homes. This action preserved the coastal land from urban development.

The Coast Salish people have long connections to this land, and nearby Black Creek remains important for coho salmon spawning. Visitors can observe this ecological relationship while walking through the area.

The park offers more than 200 vehicle-accessible campsites from April through October, equipped with restrooms and water access. The beaches are reachable directly from the camping areas and work well for day visits.

Tidal pools form along the shore at low tide, where visitors can spot starfish, sea anemones, and other marine creatures in their natural setting. This daily change makes each visit different.
