Palm Beach Regional Park

I love this beach. I take my daughter here when I’m near by. Brings back a lot of good memories.

Bathrooms are open into October at least. Great view from the beach with lots of near stuff for children like driftwood and rocks 🪨

I love this beach for the expansive view and the pockets of sand to relax on. The playground makes the little ones happy. It's a nice beach to walk and explore from one end to another. There are quite a few residences but it still feels very much available to everyone. The estuary is a bird magnet. Enjoy and please take care of this beach.

It might just be the nostalgia talking but it was better back in "my day". There are significantly more people living nearby now, making it a busier beach. There's not all that much real estate to stand on, on account of all the washed up logs so you are liable to be right next to someone on any given day.

It seems like a fair few trees have been removed to make room for the adjacent housing, which takes away from the ambiance of the park, and the new play equipment doesn't hold a candle to the old stuff built from logs. Also there used to be a big metal roundabout there, truly a loss.

That said, if you've never been, you'll still have a good time and it's worth going to. Like all other things in life, it has simply undergone some change.

Perhaps I shouldn't be stating this publicly but two of the best beaches on the mainland coast lie 1,500 metres apart, about 18 kilometres south of Powell River. One is Palm Beach, easily accessible from the park and the other is Mahood's Beach, a little closer to town. Both are relatively safe, sandy spots, suitable for the entire family. Photos are from Palm Beach, summer of 2021.

It's so beautiful I absolutely love it the sunrise and the sunset is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍
