View Trail Map

Sargeant Bay Provincial Park is located on the Sunshine Coast and is a popular scenic beach area to visit. The trail is very short and is primarily used to access the beach area along the bay.

The trail begins at the end of the parking lot next to a wooden map board of the area. Follow the wide, gravel trail as it parallels the beach area, offering views looking out into the bay. As you walk, there is a marsh to the left of the trail and can offer a good vantage for bird watchers.

The trail ends at a bridge with a small set of fish ladders, which are used by returning salmon, making their way from the salt water up Colvin Creek. Note that the large rock at the end of the trail is private property and no trespassing is allowed.

For those looking for a much longer hike, the northern section of Sergeant Bay Provincial Park goes all the way to Triangle Lake. There is a trail from the parking lot at Sergeant Bay that follows the driveway up to Redrooffs Road before crossing the road and continuing for about 3.4km to Triangle Lake.

Estimated Driving Time from Vancouver
2 hours, 30 minutes

Sergeant Bay Provincial Park is located on the Sunshine Coast, north of Sechlet near the area of Halfmoon Bay. If you are driving from Vancouver, you will need to take the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale (Gibsons) and drive to the park that is just off of Redrooffs Road.

From the town of Gibsons, drive north along Highway 101 The Sunshine Coast Highway and continue on the highway, passing through Sechelt. After leaving Sechelt, drive for about 9km and watch for a turnoff on the left to Sergeant Bay Provincial Park. Turn left onto Redrooffs Road and follow the road for just under 2km. When you see the signs for Sargeant Bay Provincial Park, turn left and follow the gravel road, past the metal gate, and down the hill to the end where there is a parking lot. The trail begins at the far end of the parking lot.
