Sandwell Provincial Park

Sandwell Provincial Park is a small oceanfront provincial park on Lock Bay along the northeast shore of Gabriola Island in British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands. Reached by road on Gabriola Island, it offers a simple shoreline setting rather than developed facilities, with hiking, swimming, and beach-walking as common activities. Access depends on the tide, and the site can only be reached at low tide. Its most distinctive feature is a group of petroglyphs carved into sandstone boulders on the foreshore of Lock Bay. Together, the natural beach landscape and visible rock carvings give the park both recreational appeal and cultural interest.
