Aug 10 to 14,I was camping in Hornby.

Where is it?
Nestle against the east coast of Vancouver Island. The 30sq Km Island has 1,000 year round residents.

How to get there?
From Nanaimo, BC Ferries run across Lambert Channel from Gravelly Bay, on Denman, to Shingle Spit, on Hornby

Helliwel Provincial Park

This beautiful park is a "must do". A 5K walk circles the park through old growth forest, grassy land and along the spectacular bluff. The best time to visit here is spring and early May, while the wild flowers covering the bluff

Tribune Bay Provincial Park

It is at the south east end of Hornby. The large sheltered bay boasts the warmest ocean water in BC and the finest white sand beach, a safe place for swimming. When the tide is out, you can wade in shallow water and explore the tidal pool

Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures!

When I was yonger and lived in Victoria, I made many trips to and spent quite a bit of time on Hornby Island and still have many friends there.  Your report and pictures took me back to all those great times and wonderful memories.

Thanks ever so much.
