Desolation Sound Marine

About the Park

Desolation Sound Marine Park has more than 60 km of shoreline, several islands, numerous small bays, and snug coves. The warm waters of the park are ideal for swimming and scuba diving. The forested upland offers a shady refuge of trails. This marine park is a paddler’s paradise with endless coves and islands to explore. It is also popular with boaters and yachters who have access to stern ties in many of the bays.
