Located on the north, sheltered east coast of Vancouver Island, in the Comox Valley, Saratoga Beach is a wide expanse of hard-packed sand that at low tide grows to over a quarter of a mile. The gently sloping beach stretches for more than a mile into the tranquil waters of the Strait of Georgia. Warm, shallow and protected, free of powerboats, the beach is perfect for swimming and playing, an ideal family beach. Miracle Beach Provincial Park and Oyster River Regional Park are on two sides of the beach, providing a range of attractions. The nearby Oyster River Hatchery is great place to see salmon hatching.
