Santa Gertrudis-Boca del Infierno Provincial Park

Nature
Santa Gertrudis-Boca del Infierno Provincial Park, legally named Santa-Boca Provincial Park, is a protected area on the southeastern shore of Nootka Island in British Columbia, Canada. Established on April 30, 1996, it protects the coastal inlets of Santa Gertrudis Cove and Boca del Infierno Bay. Its significance also lies in preserving older Spanish place-names on this stretch of coast: Santa Gertrudis refers to Saint Gertrude, and Boca del Infierno has been translated as either Bay of Fury or Bay of Hell. Although some apps show it as a regional park, its official status is provincial.
