What visitors say
Porpoise Bay Provincial Park near Sechelt is best known for its beach. Visitors describe fine sand, clear, calm and shallow water that suits young kids, and sea life to explore along the shore. One reviewer rates it among the best beaches on the Sunshine Coast.
Most reviews come from day visitors, who praise the clean, plentiful washrooms and outhouses, picnic tables, water taps, garbage areas and two roomy parking lots. There is a playground, and the surrounding forest gives plenty of shade on hot days. Locals say the campground looks well maintained.
Easy forest trails start from the park, and visitors from outside BC noticed the tall trees and shade. The beach is described as not too crowded even in summer, and families come back through spring and fall as well.
Few complaints show up in the reviews. This is bear country, and one hiker spotted signs of bears on the trail, so store food properly and keep an eye out.
