Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park
This narrow peninsula on Quadra Island forms a sandy hook with protected turquoise waters.
This small park offers day-use access to a two-kilometre-long spit for swimming, picnicking, or fishing, plus a loop trail for walking and a boat ramp for launching small boats or kayaks. Camping is not permitted in Rebecca Spit Provincial Park, but the three other parks on Quadra Island allow for walk-in and boat-in wilderness camping. Rebecca Spit is the traditional territory of the We Wai Kai Nation, and they run a 50-site campground with laundry, showers, shopping, and kayak rentals just at the park entrance.
