Premier Listings for Walsh Cove Provincial Park
The small 85-hectare Walsh Cove Provincial Park is situated on the east side of West Redonda Island, off Waddington Channel. The park comprises 39 hectares of upland and 46 hectares of foreshore. The sheltered anchorage is a favourite among Desolation Sound yachtsmen.
The Gorges Islands are incorporated in the park, providing protection in the bay from the wakes of passing marine traffic plying Waddington Channel.
After anchoring in the secure and compact little cove, boaters can take their dinghy and explore the undeveloped shoreline, hike the trails and look for ancient Indian pictographs on the rock cliffs at Doctor Bay.
No facilities are provided in the park.
Walsh Cove Provincial Park is located north of Desolation Sound on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. There is no access by road. Boat access to the park and Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park is from Lund on the Sunshine Coast,

We want you to fall in love with kayaking and our unique coast, and our passion shows in everything we do. Choose among several professionally-guided 4-8 day trips for all experience levels around Vancouver Island. ‘Glamping’ basecamp-style with wood-fired hot tub overlooking the Pacific Ocean, or expedition-style paddling from camp to camp and paddling between 100s of islands through the Broughton Archipelago, famous Desolation Sound and the wild Great Bear Rainforest on the Central Coast.
