Nature
French Beach Provincial Park on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, between Sooke and Jordan River, was established in 1980 as the first family-oriented park along this stretch of coast. Facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca with views toward the Olympic Mountains, it serves both as a scenic stop and an overnight destination through its day-use parking area and provincial campground. Its most prominent natural feature is a beach stretching about 1,600 metres along the shoreline. The coast is also known for whale watching and abundant birdlife, including Bald eagles, Ospreys, and other seabirds.
