What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Myrtle Rocks Provincial Park for its excellent opportunities for oyster and clam harvesting, offering a hands-on coastal experience. The scenic views provide a tranquil setting for relaxation. Some note the beach is smaller than anticipated and suggest alternative beaches for a more expansive experience.
"This is a fantastic beach.
I registered online and purchased a Pacific tidal waters sport fishing licence day pass. My daughter and her good friend graciously took us out to experience oyster, clam and mussel harvesting.
Note: There are many regulations, so please get informed before heading out.
There were a couple of well seasoned residents who were also out there harvesting. They too gave us many tips on what look for and what to avoid."

"Long ago, a log booming ground, now a scenic stopping point on the Sunshine Coast Highway 7 km from Westview. For a better beach, drive a few miles further out of town to Lang Bay, either Mahood's beach or Palm Beach."
Norman Farrell
"Beautiful view and quiet place to chill, just allot smaller then it looks."
