Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park
A gravel spit on Quadra Island's east coast that reaches about 2 km into the bay, with calm water on one side and the open strait on the other. Good for walking, picnics and paddling.
Rebecca Spit is a narrow gravel bank about 2 km long that encloses the calm Drew Harbour, where yachts often anchor. A forest loop trail of about an hour runs across the spit. From its eastern side you can see the snowy peaks of the Coast Mountains, and bald eagles and seals are often seen. In summer the water in the bay is warm enough for swimming and kayaking. The park is free and has picnic tables and restrooms. It is about 15 minutes' drive from the Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal, so it can be combined with other sights on Quadra Island.
