Landing Comments:
Popular surfing beach. Might be difficult for canoe, kayak landings in heavy surf conditions. River mouth gives easier landing opportunity. Steep in places. Mixed cobble, sand.
Camp Comments:
Camping permitted beach camping pads at W end. Bear cache. Pit toilet. Camping fees apply year-round. May pre-pay permit via Internet, but no reservable sites. Fee $10.00 per adult per night (2018) via BC Parks Backcountry Registration System.
