Big Bunsby Marine Provincial Park

Big Bunsby Marine Provincial Park is a coastal protected area in Checleset Bay on the west side of northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, southeast of Brooks Peninsula. Accessible only by boat, it spans 658 hectares and preserves a remote shoreline and marine habitat along the exposed outer coast. Its isolation and rugged setting give it the character of a marine wilderness. The area is especially valued for wildlife viewing, with gray whales, bald eagles, and sea otters among the notable species seen there, making boat-based access and encounters with coastal nature central to its significance today.
