Discovery Island Marine Provincial Park, Nature reserve in Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, Canada
Discovery Island Marine Provincial Park extends across 61 hectares of land, featuring gravel beaches, fir woodlands, and waters rich with marine species.
The British Columbia government established this protected area in 1972 following Captain E.G. Beaumont's bequest, who owned the land since 1918.
The northern section of Discovery Island maintains its status as a First Nations reserve, preserving indigenous archaeological sites and cultural heritage.
The park requires boat access from Oak Bay marina, offers basic camping facilities for 5 Canadian dollars per person, and contains no drinking water sources.
The automated lighthouse at Pandora Hill marks the Canada-United States border intersection and guides vessels through Haro and Juan De Fuca Straits.
