Raft Cove Access |
| |
Drive to the north end of vancouver island and take the turnoff for Holberg. The turnoff is near the town Port Hardy. Drive past Holberg on logging roads(gas up there) and follow the signs till you reach the provincial park gravel parking lot. Bring backpack, camp and cook gear, and rain gear and tarps cuz it can get wet. It can be a demanding hike(>30 min) through the gnarliest west coast forest ever. |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Park your car at the small provincial park lot and walk in about 30 mins. be ready to camp. best waves usually on rising tide, both right and left. been there a couple of times when its good, no idea how consistent it is though. still a fun wave even when small. best waves on north beach where they build off a rock headland.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
if you want a taste of the real, harsh, gnarled and wild west coast of canada then get some of this. when the weather clears up its a pretty sweet view too. there are some other solid beaches nearby as well, all accessible by logging roads, with shorter hikes in, so it could make for a good weekend. |
| |
General |
pretty fun spot for day surfing if your camped nearby, or also good for a few days camp on the beach. good fun spot if your up in northern vancouver island and have some time to kill. |
