The beach is marked by a carved Bear. You can park in this parking lot and make your way down to the beach via a path or take the next pull-out to the main picnic area complete with a shelter and outhouses.

Youth enjoy climbing the ‘fort’ via the spiral staircase. This lookout overlooks the ocean and has for many years been the ‘top choice’ of birthday parties. Youthful imaginations have turned the lookout into a ‘Ship at Sea’, a ‘Pirate Ship’ and many other dreams.

Jungle Beach is known for its miles of sandy beach. A long walk on the beach can be a therapeutic experience! Warm sand, tidal pools, agates and coloured stones as well as beach logs perfect for resting on.

Perhaps just sit and watch the ocean life for a while. Relax, you’re on Haida Gwaii time now.
