Nature and Culture
- History: In 1889, Will Roberts, an Englishman, settled at the mouth of Roberts Creek and brought his parents and two sisters out from England. They were joined by a brother and made a living logging, trapping, fishing, hunting and market gardening. They built and operated the first store and Post Office in Roberts Creek. There were, by this time, several families settled in the area. By 1912 tourists from Vancouver came on the Union Steamships which made daily runs all summer. The picnic area was established as a park in 1947 and the campground in 1954.
- Cultural Heritage: This park is located within the traditional territories of the shíshálh and Skwxwú7mesh Nations. Respect cultural and spiritual activities and avoid disruption of them. Do not collect or remove any natural objects or historical artifacts. If you find something of interest, leave it intact and notify BC Parks or the shíshálh Nation: 604 885-2273.
- Conservation: Douglas-fir, hemlock and cedar forests are found here.
- Wildlife: At low tide the cobblestone ocean beach at the picnic area is a good viewing area for sea stars, mussels and oysters or for watching whales, seals and ducks (in winter) offshore, also home to deer and Douglas squirrels.
