CALLING ALL OUTDOOR ENTHUSISTS

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the surf, with spectacular views of the mountains, the Broken Group Islands and ocean beyond. Known for its abundance of wildlife, you’ll experience nature at its wildest and finest with whales, sea lions and the many bald eagles that nest along the shoreline. Salmon Beach and surrounding area offer limitless recreational opportunities – including some of the best Salmon fishing on the west coast.

Salmon Beach Common Amenities

Salmon Beach offers a common area that includes a tennis court, basketball courts and a newly constructed playground for the kids. Other common amenities include a private boat ramp, BBQ Pit, and two private beaches accessed from the property.

Fishing

Barkley Sound and the surrounding area offer some of the best Salmon, Halibut and Cod fishing on the West Coast. From your cabin at Salmon Beach you overlook a fisherman’s paradise and can be out on the water in minutes using the private boat ramp. Some owners prefer to keep their boats in the water and ready to go at the nearby full service Toquart Bay Marnia - located less than 15 minutes from Salmon Beach (www.toquartbay.com).

Just offshore is the hottest Chinook and Coho fishing grounds in the region and if the open Pacific Ocean becomes too rough, anglers can escape the weather and find numerous Chinook hideouts among the hundreds of tiny islands in protected Barkley Sound. Halibut fishing heats up in late May with excellent fishing both nearshore and offshore – you might even hit one by accident when trolling for Salmon. There is also great prawning, and crabbing nearby if that is more your style.

The Pacific Rim National Park offers world class hiking and surfing – located just a 45-minute drive from Salmon Beach. Long Beach is renowned for its endless sweeping beaches and rolling surf. The area also has many excellent hiking trails along the rugged west coast and winding through the peaceful coastal rainforest.
