Dawley Passage Park is situated at the south end of Fortune Channel, between Meares Island and the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Strong currents in the tidal narrows of Dawley Passage result in a magnificent diversity of marine species flourishing in an exceptional marine ecosystem.
The park covers 154 hectares (62 hectares upland and 92 hectares foreshore) and contains many heritage sites of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation. The traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation covers most of the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The park and surrounding areas offer endless recreational opportunities, including fishing and boating, with Fortune Channel being one of the area's main tourism corridors. The sheltered waters around Dawley Passage make it a popular spot for canoeing and kayaking. Paddlers in the area may see seals and sea otters in their travels, as well as bears feeding at low tide. Visitors can paddle from Tofino through Browning Passage to reach Dawley Passage, or from the Grice Bay boat launch in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Kayak rentals are available from a number of kayak companies in Tofino and Ucluelet.
This park does not have a boat launch. The nearest boat launch is at Grice Bay in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, approximately 6 km from Dawley Passage.
No facilities are provided in the park.
Dawley Passage Provincial Park is located west of Tofino in the Pacific Rim region of Vancouver Island, accessible by boat only from Tofino. All services are available in Tofino.
