Sargeant Bay Provincial Park, provincial park in British Columbia, Canada
Sargeant Bay Provincial Park is a protected coastal area on the Sunshine Coast with beaches, forests, and wetlands spread across about 142 hectares. The park connects open shores with dense woods through trails, and features Colvin Creek with a fish ladder, a beaver pond, and access to Colvin Lake.
Early inhabitants used this area for fishing and gathering food from the land and sea. The park was established in 1990 and later expanded to protect larger natural areas and provide better access for visitors.
The park reflects its connection to the land through daily activities like beach walks, bird watching, and quiet moments by the water. Local Indigenous communities maintain traditional relationships with this place, reminding visitors that the coast has long held meaning for the people who have lived here.
The park is open during daylight hours only, with no overnight camping available, but picnic areas are provided for visitors. Water is cold with no lifeguards present, and pets must be leashed and kept off beaches while staying away from backcountry areas due to wildlife safety.
More than 157 bird species have been recorded in the park, making it a destination for serious bird watchers. The mix of wetlands, forest, and ocean shoreline creates ideal conditions for numerous bird habitats to thrive.
