What you should know before you go
BC Parks is dedicated to preserving the natural state of parks while also providing recreational access to its features. Park regulations and policies protect park values, ensuring a quality experience for all visitors, both today and in years to come.
Please obey the following camping ethics and regulations
Dogs must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in the day-use/beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behavior and must dispose of their excrement.
Campfires may not be permitted in all parks. Some parks may use communal fire rings. Please help conserve firewood. Keep your campfire small and leaving your campfire unattended is a serious offense. To preserve vegetation and ground cover please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite.
Parking is permitted only in designated areas and on the gravel portion of campsites. Parking is not permitted on roadsides.
Swimming areas protect swimmers within marker buoys. All watercraft and water-skiers must stay outside markers. Lifeguards are not in attendance.
Vehicles used in parks must be licensed and operated by licenses drivers.
Visitors must leave by 11:00 p.m. Only registered campers are allowed in the campsite after 11:00 p.m.
Excessive noise is not permitted. Please remember that sound travels further in open air, especially music and loud talking.
Liquor consumption is prohibited anywhere in the park with the exception of your campsite.
Barbecues must be used on the ground unless barbecue attachments are provided on picnic tables.
Bears - To avoid problems with nuisance animals such as bears, lock your food in your vehicle at night. Be sure to use the garbage containers provided and maintain a clean campsite. Never feed or approach bears. For more information on bear safety, click here.
Trees and shrubs are easily damaged; do not use them for wiener sticks. Leave flowers and others plants to grow.
Trails are planned to take you safely through the most interesting and beautiful parts of our parks without damaging sensitive and unique plant and wildlife habitats. Stay on the trails.
Bicycles may only be ridden on park roads and on designated trails. Consult the park host, park brochure or information shelters for information about nearby cycling opportunities.
Firearms - For your safety, firearms are prohibited.
Remember you can always take pictures - please leave it as you found it so that future visitors may also enjoy the park.
LEAVE NO TRACE Ethics - These are not to be rules but a personal commitment to preserving our environment. People or groups that don’t practice these ethics will force agencies to place more controls on park users for the future. Certainly this is not the preferred route and BC Parks would much rather protect provincial parks relying more on personal ethics than the enforcement of regulations and restrictions.
Here are seven key principles of Leave No Trace that we want you to practice:
Plan ahead and prepare.
Camp and travel on durable surfaces.
Pack it in - Pack it out.
Properly dispose of what you cannot pack out.
Leave what you find.
Minimize use and impact of fires.
Minimize noise and visual intrusion.

Situated on the scenic Strait of Juan de Fuca on the west coast of southern Vancouver Island, French Beach Provincial Park offers much more than just beautiful hiking trails through lush forests. A wide swatch of green lawn fronts this sand and pebble beach, where visitors can relax and enjoy a picnic or take a cool dip in the ocean.
In addition to offering fabulous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains, the 1,600-metre beach at this park is an ideal location for exploring and whale watching. The magnificent Gray whales pass by this park in the spring as they migrate to northern feeding grounds, and return again in the fall. Roaming pods of resident killer whales can also be seen offshore, as well as otters, seals and sea lions. French Beach is also a good spot to observe Bald eagles, ospreys and a variety of seabirds.
French Beach offers year-round vehicle accessible camping in a beautiful natural setting within minutes walk to the ocean. Facilities include a picnic/day-use area, a sani-station, pit toilets and fresh water. More camping and hiking opportunities are located nearby a
