Best beach

Best beach in the world! You can surf, walk, chill, fire, sit, stand, eat, hang, friends, and much more. Two parking lots that can get full quick but you’ll find a spot no worries

Spectacular sunset

It is a beautiful beach. Watch for the waves that can come up quite rapidly and lift up any log! Great surf for those who enjoy that kind of stuff: I wasn't up for it this time around. Worth seeing at low tide.

A must see!

Chesterman Beach was one of my favourite places to see on our west coast trip. The sunsets here were incredible here! Beautiful sandy beach to walk. Loved seeing all the surfers young and old. The locals were lovely!

My favourite place on Earth, so far. Feels like you are away, on the gentle edge and curve of the planet. A place to breath, come back to yourself. This is where waves meet waves and waves meet earth and sand. I always go for...More

Pristine, unspoiled

This is a huge beach. Fabulous for walking, watching the ravens. And enjoying the unspoiled nature. This is the first beach I've been to with NO garbage! No plastic bottles, no styrofoam. Just shellfish, rocks and sand. The way it should be. Absolutely pristine. Also,...More

Fabulous!

We had the perfect winter day at the beach: warm sunshine, crisp cool breeze, sparkling water, high surf with lots of surfers out, moms pushing strollers, people walking their dogs and couples strolling hand-in-hand. It doesn't get better tan this.
