Beaches line both sides of the spit.
Across the water from downtown Campbell River lies Quadra Island and beyond that is Cortes Island. Both are named for early Spanish Navigators who explored this coast in 1792. Access is by ferry to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island, with a second ferry operating from Heriot Bay to Whaletown on Cortes Island. Three provincial parks on these two islands offer outstanding recreational opportunities. Information Online Management planning information for this park is not available at this time.
