Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park features a wide, shallow beach that recedes over a kilometre at low tide combined with walking trails through old-growth forest and interpretive programs all within a few minutes drive to downtown Parksville.

Be sure to book your campsite well in advance with the 'Discover Camping' campground reservation service. Further down Rathtrevor Beach are a number of Parksville resorts, so you can to enjoy the park without roughing it.

Feathered friends flock to Rathtrevor Beach

While Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park may be one of the most popular BC Parks during the summer, it can be even busier in the midst of Vancouver Island’s green and pleasant winters. That’s when tens of thousands of Pacific Black Brant geese rest and feed on Parksville’s shoreline, two-thirds of their way north on a migratory route from Mexico to Northern Canada and Alaska. The tireless birds begin arriving in February, and they are cheered on their way north during the Brant Wildlife Festival.
