Tribune Bay – Hornby Island

About the Park

Nicknamed “Little Hawaii,” the white sandy beaches of Tribune Bay stretch endlessly out to meet an aquamarine sea. Boasting close to 1 km of fine white sand beach, the south-facing Tribune Bay is easily one of the most spectacular destinations on the east side of Vancouver Island. Here, shallow waters meet tropical temperatures during the summer; Tribune Bay is one of the warmest saltwater swimming areas in B.C.

The adjacent Tribune Bay Campsite has been recently acquired by BC Parks and is undergoing upgrades of the campground facilities. This large, high-density campsite is extremely popular and a favourite destination for many families; its primary feature being the campsite’s proximity to Tribune Bay. Many of the campsite’s features and amenities are in the process of being brought up to BC Parks’ standards. Tribune Bay Campsite is 100% reservable at tribunebay.com. Reservations are highly recommended all season long. The campsite is open May 15^th – September 28^th 2025.
