Remote surfing
Catch a wave
Hardcore surfers and enthusiastic boogie boarders are rediscovering the wild ocean waves and spectacularly remote beachfronts at the north end of Vancouver Island. The sport first took off here in the 1960s at Grant Bay, Raft Cove and San Josef Bay in Cape Scott Provincial Park. Now a new generation has returned to ride the long rollers and big breakers that lap steadily on the shores of these secluded sandy bays.
