It's a long walk - over an hour each way, so you want to time it when the tides are at their peak. This information is in the free local paper - there are many dispensers beside the mailboxes along the roads. You want to go to both viewpoints - North Point and Roland Bay. You can walk right up...

Easy walk for all to enjoy. When the tide is out, enjoy the starfish and sealife that you can see from the rocks. Pack in a lunch and stay a while.
Even if you are not a kayaker, the 4 km walk to see the Skookumchuck rapids is well worth it. The uniqueness comes from the fact that at high tide, water rushes into Sechelt Inlet through a narrow channel with incredible force. This creates the rapids and whirlpools. At the end of the walk, stop by the Green Rosette Café,...

The walk is relatively gentle, though a bit rough at the end, and not all flat. It took us about an hour, although we spoke to someone who ran it in 17 minutes, so there's the range. There's not much to see on the walk except big trees and Brown Lake, which was very pretty, so don't expect to have...

Worth the hour walk, less if you jog. This is a great family outing BUT make sure you watch the tides as the benefit is best at certain tides which are listed when the best time to go. If you have extra time, visit the local thrift shop for bargains or walk around the Egmont area before or after, taking...

We hiked the park and had nice views of the bay. Not very crowded but absolutely worth a visit. Many birds and Arbutus trees to see.
