Chesterman Beach
Chesterman Beach offers 3 kilometers of sun-kissed sands complete with all of the surfing, wildlife watching, and incredible sunsets. Plus a sandspit to Frank Island emerges at low tide so you can walk out for views of the entire beach with a mountain backdrop - just keep an eye out for the returning tide. There is also a great variety of birds found on the beach all year long. Spring and fall bring migrating whales, and there is nothing more memorable than seeing the fantastically powerful breach or spout of one of these majestic creatures. In the winter months, Chesterman Beach is a favorite place for the more adrenaline-seeking sorts to seek out. The tumultuous weather and exposure to the wild Pacific Ocean mean crazy swells and gnarly waves. It also sets the stage for storm chasers to witness the raw power of nature.
