Sandy Island Marine Provincial Park is located on the tip of Denman Island the British Columbia’s Gulf Islands. The 33-hectare Sandy Island gets connected to Longbeak Point on Denman Island at spring low tide by an exposed sand bank. The best way to explore the park is from a canoe or kayak. You can easily paddle from Denman Island to Sandy Island, it is only about 6 miles. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, or loons as you paddle. You might also spot tall and elegant blue herons on the rocky coastal outcroppings that become exposed at low tide. Sandy Island Marine Provincial Park has rustic campsites located in a lush grove of Douglas fir trees. The facilities are very basic and fires are not permitted. At low tide, you can walk to Sandy Island from Longbeak Point.
