The view to the east is the Broken Island Group which is part of the
Pacific Rim National park reserve consisting of over 100 islands
with a back drop of coastal mountain range, to the south open
pacific ocean and a little to the southwest a view of chrows Island.
There is access to miles of foreshore going east and west of the
campground, between high and low tides is a mixture of moonscape
type gullies with various size tidal pools teaming with sea life,
sandy and flat bare rock areas, sea caves, huge old growth cedars
and spruce tree at waters edge. You can spend days wandering along
theses beaches peering into tidal pools marveling at the sea life
amongst or beneath the rocks. Hunt through the float sum for
interesting discoveries as glass balls, fishing floats, shells, and
drift wood.
Watch the eagles, sea lions, harbor seals, otters, black bears, mink
and many different water foul foraging for their daily food. Watch
the various whale watching, fishing and all sorts of sea going
traffic passing by the campground on their regular routines.
In summer at high tide car top boats can be launched for excellent
salmon fishing, kayaking, scuba diving as the area is protected by
the summer westerly winds.
You can watch Grey Whales as they migrate up and down the coast from
March through to September from shore. There 15 feet high blows,
backs, tails and even their broaching can clearly be seen and even
photographed from shore
