Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park

A short ferry ride from Campbell River brings you to Quadra Island, where a slender peninsula hooks into Drew Harbour. Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park occupies this two-kilometre stretch of land, offering sheltered waters on one side and the open Strait of Georgia on the other. Driftwood logs line the pebble shores, providing natural seating for those watching the boat traffic pass by.

A wide, flat gravel trail runs down the centre of the spit, shaded by a canopy of second-growth trees. It gives walkers clear sightlines to the coastal mountains across the water. Large grassy areas break up the forested sections, equipped with picnic tables and fire rings for afternoon cookouts.

Boaters frequently anchor in the calm waters of Drew Harbour, using the public boat launch to access the surrounding marine environment. The park grounds remain open around the clock, allowing early risers to catch the sunrise over the mainland peaks and evening walkers to watch the light fade across the harbour.
