A coastal estuary and tidal marsh on northern Vancouver Island offering wide mudflats, salt marsh channels, beach edges and abundant waterfowl—excellent for bird and landscape photography. Best at low tide for exposed textures and reflections, and at sunrise/sunset for warm side light. Access is by local roads with basic parking; expect uneven trails and wet ground—wear waterproof boots. Respect Wildlife Management Area rules: keep distance from nesting birds and avoid trampling marsh vegetation
