Tips for Visiting Buccaneer Bay Provincial Park#

  • The park is small and close to Vancouver; it's ideal for a short paddle or picnic rather than an extended backcountry outing.
  • Launch from nearby public boat ramps to avoid private estates.
  • Check tidal charts - the bay is tidal and beach access changes with the tide.
