Dionisio Point Provincial Park, Provincial park on Galiano Island, Canada
The 142-hectare park features limestone cliffs, sandy beaches, and sheltered bays along Porlier Pass between Galiano and Valdes Islands.
Spanish explorer Captain Dionisio Alcala Galiano discovered this area in 1792 during his expedition through the Gulf Islands in British Columbia.
Shell middens and archaeological structures within the park boundaries demonstrate continuous indigenous habitation by Penelakut First Nation for over 3000 years.
Access to the park requires boat transportation, with 30 walk-in wilderness campsites available year-round and seasonal water facilities from May to September.
Marine wildlife observation points allow visitors to spot whales, seals, sea lions, and various bird species from the weathered limestone shoreline.
