About this Park

Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park is one of the most popular parks on Vancouver Island. At low tide, the beach extends for nearly a kilometre into the warm waters of the Strait of Georgia.

A large campground nestled in old-growth Douglas fir makes this a quintessential family beach destination in the Parksville area.
