Rebecca Spit - May 22 - 25


Rebecca Spit Marine Park is found on Quadra Islands east side. It forms a natural breakwater for Drew Harbour, and can be a very popular spot for locals and tourists.


The anchorage was empty when we arrived so we chose what turned out to be a great spot. Just behind the head of the park, where the x is on the chart above. Winds were forecast to be strong NW which blow into Drew Harbour but our little piece of water was always calm and peaceful.

The anchorage is quiet.

Rebeca Spit is a day use park only ( for land lubbers of course ) so the nights and mornings are quiet and people free. The daytime brings the park visitors but most of the activity is focused in the large grassy field closer to the entrance and the beaches of course. Summers look like they will be a zoo with lots of boats, beach goers and water skiers !!!



The Spit provides miles of trails for walking.


The paths along the spit provide beautiful views with water on both sides. Snow covered mountains form the background horizon and driftwood covers the beaches, not just little driftwood, but huge large timber from distant shores.

The best sticks ever !!

So long for now
