Simson Marine Provincial Park

Simson Marine Provincial Park occupies the southern half of South Thormanby Island in British Columbia, opposite Halfmoon Bay. A provincial park of Canada, it covers 461 acres, or about 1.87 square kilometres, and is accessible only by sea. Most of the park is forested, while an abandoned farm and orchard preserve evidence of earlier settlement. The park takes its name from pioneer Calvert Simson, whose family donated the land to make its creation possible. It remains valued for its island setting, natural shoreline, and the quiet historical traces that survive within its woods.
