About the Park
French Beach Park offers much more than just beautiful hiking trails through lush forests. A wide swatch of green lawn fronts this sand and pebble beach, where visitors can relax and enjoy a picnic or take a cool dip in the ocean. 1,600-metre beach is ideal for exploring and whale watching. Gray whales pass by in spring as they migrate north and then return again in fall. Roaming pods of resident killer whales, as well as otters, seals, sea lions can be seen offshore. French Beach is also a good spot to observe bald eagles, ospreys, and a variety of seabirds.
French Beach offers year-round vehicle accessible camping in a beautiful natural setting a few minutes’ walk to the ocean.
