If soaking up every last drop of summer on a sandy beach is your ideal way of spending August, we’ve got the perfect provincial park for you to visit. Situated on northwest Vancouver Island, Mᑫuqᵂin/Brooks Peninsula Park was once home to the “cape of storms,” but now shelters beautiful remote beaches and coastal forests that few have fully explored.
With a plethora of hiking, kayaking, boating and wildlife viewing opportunities, the park offers visitors a “world-class wilderness experience.” This includes everything from diverse inter-tidal marine life to adventures in sub-alpine mountains.
The park is situated on a peninsula that happens to be the only part of the Island unaffected by the last ice age, which means it has given life to a broad range of rare plant species and geological formations.

Reclaimed and renamed by the Che:k’tles7et’h’ First Nation in 2009, the provincial park is now known as “The Queen” in the Nuu-Chah-Nulth language. As well, the park falls into the boundaries of the Quatsino First Nation, who have spiritual ties to the lands.
So there you have it, BC. Another fascinating provincial park to add to your list.
Enjoy your next summer adventure!
