Maps and location
Getting there
Located 8.2km from Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast. Turn off Hwy 101 onto Redroofs Road.
Things to do
Colvin Creek trail easy hiking and approximately one kilometre. Sargeants Bay trail is along beach front to the fish ladder and is approximately 300 metres in length. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
There is cold ocean swimming available. The beach is grassy and cobble. There is no roped off swimming area.
There are no lifeguards on duty in BC Parks.
There is excellent ocean fishing available at this park.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Cycling is permitted on the main trail from the Hwy 101 to Sargeants Bay. This connects to the Trout Lake Hiking and Mountain Bike trails. Cycling is permitted on roads within the park. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.
Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Sargeant Bay Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted.
