Best time to visit Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park

Late June through early September offers the warmest, driest weather and the best conditions for swimming, paddling, and trail walking on Gray Peninsula. Montague Harbour is a delight for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in any season, but particularly during the long hot days of summer. Shoulder months of May and September bring fewer crowds and easier ferry bookings for RVs, though cooler evenings and higher rain chances return by late September. Montague Harbour is open year-round; a winter fee is charged and limited services are available in the off-season.

Things to do at Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park

  • Gray Peninsula Loop Trail Easy
    RV parking available

    Gray Peninsula is an easy forested loop that circles the headland at the north end of the park. Routes lead along Shell Beach and around Gray Peninsula, with easy trails that offer spectacular views of the surrounding islands, local marine life and wildlife. bcparks.ca/montague-harbour-marine-park/

  • Shell Beach Easy
    RV parking available

    Shell Beach is a signature white-shell beach formed over thousands of years of Indigenous harvesting. The white shell beach on the north side of the park marks one of several shell middens that indicate native occupation dating back more than 3,000 years, and wave action crushes and redeposits the shells to create Montague's white shell beaches. A new Shell Beach staircase is in place, giving visitors a more accessible route down to the white shell beach on the north side of the park. bcparks.ca/recreation/marine_parks/

  • Sea Kayaking in Montague Harbour Moderate
    RV parking available

    Montague Harbour is a popular launch point for exploring the southern Gulf Islands by kayak. Montague Harbour is both a destination and a starting off point for kayakers wanting to explore the Gulf Islands.

How to get to Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park

Access is by BC Ferries to Galiano Island. BC Ferries provides vehicle and passenger service to Sturdies Bay from Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island and from Tsawwassen, south of Vancouver. From Sturdies Bay the park is about 10 km northwest, located on Montague Park Road, with signs directing drivers from the ferry terminal. RV travelers should reserve ferry space well in advance, confirm vehicle length and height limits with BC Ferries, and expect narrow, winding island roads with limited turnaround space; Victoria International Airport near Swartz Bay is the most convenient airport for fly-and-rent travelers.
