French Beach Provincial Park, Provincial park on Vancouver Island, Canada.
French Beach Provincial Park extends across 59 hectares along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, featuring a sand and gravel beach with ancient forests.
The park received official designation as a provincial park on January 24, 1974, marking the beginning of structured conservation in this coastal area.
The land belongs to the traditional territory of the T'Sou-ke First Nation, who maintained fishing, hunting, and gathering practices in the region.
The park maintains 69 camping sites without showers or hookups, plus day-use areas with picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets.
Gray whales pass by the beach during their migration between Alaska and Baja Mexico, making it a prime location for whale observation.
