China Beach

China Beach, Sandy beach in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.

China Beach is a sandy shore within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park that stretches for several hundred meters along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with dense coastal forest rising behind the sand. The beach features pebbles, driftwood, and rock formations jutting into the water, creating varied zones for visitors to explore.

China Beach takes its name from Uglow Creek, which was formerly called China Creek. The beach itself once gave its name to a provincial park; that park was rescinded, and in 1996 it was amalgamated with two other parks to establish Juan de Fuca Provincial Park. The site lies southeast of Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The beach takes its name from Uglow Creek, which was formerly called China Creek. The creek flows nearby, and the older name survives in the beach's name even though the creek itself was renamed. The beach was once a provincial park in its own right; that park was rescinded and, in 1996, merged with two other parks to form Juan de Fuca Provincial Park.

China Beach lies southeast of Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island, reached via the Pacific Marine Road from the town. The beach sits within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, created in 1996 by merging three former parks, so check park access before setting out.
