Malibu Rapids, Natural rapids at Princess Louisa Inlet, British Columbia.
The narrow passage between Malibu Isle and the mainland creates water flows reaching speeds of 9 knots during peak tidal movements.
Thomas F. Hamilton constructed the Malibu Club near these rapids in 1940, naming it after his yacht before selling it to Young Life in 1953.
The waters near Malibu Rapids have maintained significance as a navigation route connecting Princess Louisa Inlet with Jervis Inlet in British Columbia.
Navigation through these waters requires careful timing during slack tide periods when the currents slow down and water conditions become calmer.
The water direction indicates tide status: flow toward Jervis Inlet signals low tide, while movement toward Princess Louisa Inlet marks high tide.
