Imagery: USGS / CopernicusOpen in MapAbout this site
The beach is rough but there is an excellent cleared area for camping and is the most accessible site from Porteau Cove Provincial Marine Park. The small islands off shore are known as the Defence Islands, and are designated as Indian Reserve. Please do not disturb the islands, they are sacred to the Squamish First Nation. For more info, visit the BC Marine Trails Website: Sea to Sky Marine Trail Additional Info: Four kilometers north of Thornbrough Channel, this south-facing site is protected by a small rocky islet. A cleared boat run leads through a shallow boulder beach to a clearing with a picnic table, two aluminum food caches, and room for five tents. Trails lead to a tent platform above the beach, another cantilevered over the water, a composting toilet, and two additional tent sites on a high bench.
