Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Um trecho de 1,5 quilômetro de areia macia e seixos, esta praia oferece vistas privilegiadas das Ilhas San Juan e do Monte Baker em dias claros. Seu píer icônico se estende por 468 metros até o Mar Salish, tornando-o um dos píeres de madeira mais longos da costa oeste do Canadá.
Destaques: Na maré baixa, os bancos de areia expostos revelam milhares de minúsculas estrelas-do-mar ocre roxas e laranjas agarradas aos trechos rochosos. Famílias locais competem com barcos caseiros de papelão nas planícies de maré durante a Competição Anual de Castelos de Areia desde 1988.
Dicas de quem conhece

- Bring a blanket and picnic instead of buying snacks at the concession stand to save money.
- The beach gets crowded on summer weekends, aim for a weekday visit or arrive before 10 a.m.
- Head to the east end of the beach near the grassy park for quieter spots and fewer crowds.
