Walking and Hiking
Beautiful provincial park located nearby. Park at the old barn for a short walk to the ocean or meander through expansive meadows with lovely views of Mount Maxwell. For a slightly longer hike, drive and park at the end of road, and hike Daffodil Point. Mild inclines, garry oaks and a scenic ocean point make for a great outing.
