Wallace Island Marine Provincial Park, Marine provincial park in Trincomali Channel, British Columbia, Canada.

The 72-hectare park spans across Wallace Island between Salt Spring Island and Galiano Island, featuring beaches, coves, and offshore islets.

David Conover purchased the island after World War II and established the Royal Cedar Cottages resort, which operated until the mid-1960s.

David Conover documented his experiences on the island through books titled 'One Man's Island' and 'Once Upon an Island'.

The park contains 18 walk-in campsites spread across three areas: Conover Cove, Chivers Point, and Cabin Bay, accessible only by private boat.

The southern end of the island, Panther Point, received its name from the merchant vessel Panther that struck the rocky reefs in 1874.
