This Bates Beach Oceanfront Suite is located in one of Vancouver Island's most spectacular and pristine West Coast settings, overlooking the Strait of Georgia and coastal mountains. It is your destination for outdoor adventure and relaxation. This one-bedroom suite sleeps four and contains a fully-equipped kitchen.
Located a short walking distance is Seal Bay Nature Park, a beautiful and large natural reserve with an abundance of wildlife. A great place to hike, bike ride, or leisurely walk and enjoy the serenity.
There are some excellent kayaking opportunities at Bates Beach. Paddling south at low tide takes you along the reef at Seal Bay and provides ample opportunity for wildlife viewing. Eagles and shore birds hunt for food while seals, sea lions, and otters sun themselves on the many large rocks. Moonlight paddles offer spectacular sunsets, peaceful settings, and views of cruise ships.
Bates Beach is also renowned for excellent fishing opportunities. Boat and motor rentals are available. Chinook Salmons are predominant and provide an excellent challenge for fishermen. Bottom fishing includes sole and rock cod which are an easy catch just a short boat ride from shore.
