Sandbanks Provincial Park, Provincial park in Burgeo, Canada
Sandbanks Provincial Park extends across 2.32 square kilometers of coastal land, featuring seven kilometers of sandy beaches along Newfoundland's southern shore.
The provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador established this protected natural area in 1985 to preserve the coastal ecosystem and sand dunes.
Writer Farley Mowat explored these shores during his residence in Burgeo in the 1960s, incorporating the landscape into his literary compositions.
The park maintains 30 unserviced camping spots and remains open from late May through mid-September, with direct access from Route 480.
The protected beach areas serve as nesting grounds for piping plovers, requiring specific conservation measures to safeguard this near-threatened bird species.
