Blueback Beach Access — photo spot in 6300 Icarus Dr, Nanaimo, BC V9V 1B5, Canada
Blueback Beach Access
Small, sheltered beach on Newcastle Island facing the Strait — great for wide seascapes, dramatic skies, driftwood foregrounds, paddlers and island silhouettes at golden hour. Best in summer for clear sunsets and in winter for stormy skies; low tide reveals rock pools and textures. Parking is roadside near 6300 Icarus Dr with a short walk/down path to the sand (some uneven/rocky sections). No entry fee; expect local beachgoers on weekends.
