Porteau Cove Provincial Park
Porteau Cove Provincial Park, Provincial park along Howe Sound in British Columbia, Canada
The 56-hectare oceanfront park features a dock, two boat launches, and multiple campsites spread across its natural shoreline along the eastern edge of Howe Sound.
The park establishment in 1981 marked a significant expansion of British Columbia's protected coastal areas, preserving marine ecosystems for future generations.
The park serves recreational activities throughout the year, from camping and hiking to scuba diving and stargazing beneath dark skies.
Located 38 kilometers north of Vancouver on Highway 99, the park maintains 44 drive-in campsites, 16 walk-in sites, and Olympic Legacy cabins for overnight stays.
Two sunken vessels and artificial reefs form an underwater park where divers can explore marine life in protected waters.
