Found on the eastern shore of Howe Sound, Porteau Cove Provincial Park is a waterfront paradise that primarily lures in visitors who want to enjoy water-based activities. The rocky beach is perfect for picnicking and enjoying the views of the surrounding mountains, and although swimming is possible, the water is better suited to boating, canoeing, and windsurfing. If you're planning to bring a boat, two paved boat launches can be found at the beach. The park is also a popular destination with scuba divers, and there are two sunken ships and a series of artificial reefs to explore right off the shore.
