Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park

Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park is a coastal area where sheer granite cliffs rise dramatically from the water and frame a narrow inlet. The granite walls create a striking setting with numerous waterfalls that flow from the mountains down to the sea.

James MacDonald acquired the land in 1927 and gave it to the Princess Louisa International Society in 1953, leading to provincial park status in 1965. This protected designation allowed the area to be preserved and opened to visitors.

The Sechelt Nation calls Princess Louisa Inlet by the name Suivoolot, linking this place to their oral traditions and cultural identity. This name reflects the long relationship the people have maintained with this coastal area.

The park is accessible only by boat and has limited mooring spots and a few basic camping areas for overnight stays. Plan for changing weather and bring warm layers, especially during cooler months.

After spring snowmelt until mid-June, more than sixty waterfalls cascade simultaneously down the granite walls, creating a rare natural display. This seasonal effect makes visits in late spring a special time to witness the full force of the water.
