| Shingle Bay, Moresby Island:
On the north side of Moresby Island, in-between Onward Point and
Sandspit Village is a long stretch of sandy beach to explore.
The easy access beach is very visible on the drive in from the
Alliford Bay BC Ferry Terminal as it follows the main road into
Sandspit Village and the airport.
The beach area is made up of mostly fine sand and small pebbles
with driftwood logs and shells populating the shoreline. The whole
coastline of Shingle Bay is a popular destination
in the summer months for the locals and visitors. Many arrive
to hang out and kick back, enjoying a day of beachcombing, ocean
swimming and relaxing.
Along the shoreline of Shingle Bay is some private
picnic tables (belonging to the shoreline residential homes we
think), a rope swing, some left behind beach toys, a large wharf
and some elevated grassy areas. From the sandy beach one can watch
the sea birds play and the marine traffic sail on by.
The beach goes for miles. One can almost walk west to east along
Shingle Bay beach on Moresby Island from the
small craft marina to the long wooden wharf at the foot of the
airport.
How to Get to Shingle
Bay : Drive east for about
15 minutes from the Alliford Bay BC Ferry Terminal on Moresby
Island, past Onward Point,
towards Sandspit Village. Just past the Grassy
Island Rest Area the coastline trees disappear and the coastline
views open right up starting with the small craft marina. From
here the Shingle Bay beach wanders for miles and you can follow
it all the way to the wharf. Park anytime and anywhere.
