Island View Beach, Sandy beach on Saanich Peninsula, Canada.
Island View Beach extends along the eastern shore of Saanich Peninsula, offering views of Haro Strait, James Island, and the San Juan Islands in the distance.
The park area, established in 1966, contains numerous paleontological discoveries, with fossils of extinct animals found within its geological formations over the years.
The northern section of the beach borders Tsawout First Nation territory, reflecting the long-standing indigenous presence in this coastal region of British Columbia.
The seasonal campground operates from May to October with 47 sites, including 18 beachfront RV spots, 5 tent trailer areas, and 24 tent locations.
During spring and autumn migrations, the beach becomes a critical stopping point for seabirds and shorebirds that feed on eelgrass and search for marine life.
