Full Description: Saltery Bay Provincial
Park was established in 1962 to provide ocean
access to Georgia Strait along the Sunshine
Coast. The 69-hectare park takes its name from
the old fish saltery that was nearby in the 1900s.
The park is divided into two separate sites. The
day-use area with its rocky beaches is a popular
swimming and picnic site. The lush forest with
large, old trees creates a quiet setting for the
campground at Mermaid Cove. At low tide the
rocky shoreline often has tidal pools with starfish,
sea urchins, small fish and crabs. Scuba diving
provides a close-up look at the abundant marine
life and a 3-metre bronze mermaid statue.

Campfires are permitted in designated fire rings only. Firewood is available once a day at approximately 6pm for a cost of $7.00, or you can bring your own wood. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in
provincial parks, except in your campsite.
Excessive noise is not allowed at any time. Consider
your neighbours and observe the quiet time from
10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Do not operate noisy equipment or
generators during this time.
Non-registered visitors are welcome during the day
but must leave the park before 11 p.m.
All pets must be kept on a leash. They are not permitted
in picnic or beach areas. Owners are responsible
for disposing of pet droppings into garbage containers.
Tents, trailers, vehicles and other equipment must be
confined to the gravel portion of the campsite. Parking
is not permitted on roadsides.
Dishwashing and personal hygiene activities at the
water taps may contaminate the water supply. Dumping
grey water in or near campsites may harm wildlife and
vegetation. Please use grey water disposal units or
dispose of grey water in the outhouses or at the
sani-station. |
