Beaches & Parks

At Beach Acres Resort, you can enjoy the blue of the ocean at your doorstep or revel in the green of the forest landscape of neighbouring Rathtrevor Provincial Park.  But these are far from the only natural gems in the Oceanside region.  Eight provincial parks and five regional district parks are all close by. 

The world famous Pacific Rim National Park is just a day-trip away.  Explore from the mountains to the ocean to deep underground.  A professional guide can introduce you to the wonders of Horne Lake Caverns one day and next day can find you humbled and inspired by the natural sights of Mount Arrowsmith, a United Nations designated “Biosphere Reserve”, one of only 13 such designations in Canada, and 1 of only 500 worldwide.
