Morning Beach Park

A beautiful rocky beach. We did the walk to Tree Island during low tide. The walk was a bit harder than anticipated because of walking on the sand/rocks. However I definitely recommend doing it if you have the time.

Great Park with a nice beach if you walk north 1km from the stairs

Morning Beach Park is absolutely a hidden gem on Denman island. You'll want to visit during low tide so look up when that is and plan your trip accordingly. You will need to take the ferry out to the island and then drive about 10 minutes. Park along the road and follow the path to the start of the staircase down.

The staircase from the top to the shore is just over 100 steps. Some of the stairs are a bit wobbly and there are sections where the railing is a rope rather than wooden. The stairs seem perfectly safe and we had no issues getting to the shore.

In low tide, there is so much shoreline and beach present. During our trip out, there were only two other couples on the beach but there was tons of room for there to be a whole lot more people and it not feel crowded.

It is important to note, there are no washrooms onsite. You will need to travel back to the village or the terminal for those.

Beautiful beach on Denman Island, 2nd time today my family and I have been there and only ever ran into one party of people, very quiet, beautiful place! Lots and lots of eagles

Have never found a picnic area but there are numerous benches around

At the north tip of Denman Island, the epic scenery at Morning Beach park is certainly worth the short ferry ride to Denman. At low tide you can walk further north way out on the sand spit to Sandy Island marine park (about a 6km round trip hike back to the stairs).
