GRICE BAY
Pacific Rim National Park
(Long Beach section)

Boating  Fortune Channel Rideout Islets

Grice Bay is a popular destination in the Pacific Rim National Park - Long Beach section - for many marine enthusiasts like boaters, kayakers, seabird watchers and photographers.

The easy access boat launch, ocean views, and parking lot tend to be a big draw. The Grice Bay area is mainly seen as a boat launch to many. There is, however, a picnic table area, pit toilets, a large parking lot and a raised beachfront for excellent marine viewing opportunities. The beachfront is above sea level - an ideal situation for many who arrive at the bay with lounge chairs anxious to sit back and relax and spend some quality time enjoying the island and wildlife views. The bird watchers, with binoculars and cameras in hand, analyze the horizon looking for wildlife.

View Down Tofino Inlet Ride Out Islets

Some boaters and kayakers use Grice Bay as a launching point to access Tofino Inlet exploring Cannery Bay, Tranquil Inlet or Kennedy River. Long haul boaters and kayakers head out traveling up Fortune Channel to visit Dawley Passage Provincial Park, the Big Cedar Trail on Meares Island or to set anchor in Mosquito Harbour and have a serene moment.

Mainly boaters and very ambitious kayakers launch from Grice Bay to access Clayoquot Sound. A beautiful route, first, navigating Browning Passage, through the many smaller islet islands and then around the bigger islands like Vargas and Flores Islands into the heart of the Clayoquot Sound.

All visitors to the park must have a Park Use Permit.

How to get to Grice Bay: From the Pacific Rim Hwy look for the road signs indicating the Grice Bay. Turn on Grice Bay Road and drive to the very end of the road to the boat launch.
