French Beach Provincial Park lies on the picturesque Strait of Juan de Fuca, off the west coast of southern Vancouver Island. With its meandering trails through luscious forests as well as a vast expanse of green grass that overlooks this pebble-and-sand beach, it is no wonder why visitors flock here to take part in peaceful picnics and refreshing dips in the ocean.

Spectacular views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains await you at this 1,600-meter beachfront park. Here, you can explore nature’s wonders while spotting wildlife or simply take in the scenery.
