Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park
Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park, Nature reserve in Parksville, Canada.
The park stretches across 347 hectares of land, featuring a 2-kilometer sandy beach where the ocean recedes up to 1 kilometer during low tide.
William Rath established a farm on this land in 1886, and after his death, his wife Elizabeth transformed the property into a campground.
The area holds significance for Indigenous Peoples, with BC Parks actively working to represent their historical connections to the land accurately.
The park maintains 225 campsites among Douglas fir trees, including 4 group sites and 25 walk-in tent locations, with facilities open year-round.
From February to April, the park becomes a primary observation point for migrating Brant geese during their annual journey.
