Hesquiat Peninsula Park is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island north of Tofino. It covers most of the eastern coast of Nootka Sound. The park is very popular for boating, coastal hiking, and sea kayaking. The peninsula is an important wilderness area that protects heritage sites, the stands of old-growth forest of Sitka spruce, white pine, lodgepole pine, and yellow cedar as well as a freshwater lake. The park includes a range of coastal ecosystems such as offshore reefs, boulder, cobble and sand beaches, sheltered bays, sea caves, kelp beds, and mudflats. All of them are connected by a network of trails, allowing visitors to enjoy this incredibly rich natural diversity.
