Miracle Beach is a popular destination campground. A vast, family-friendly sandy beach on the ocean is the main attraction at this park. Miracle Beach also features well-spaced private campsites, group camping facilities, an adventure playground for children, hot showers, some flush toilet buildings, a large picnic area overlooking the water, a series of trails winding through lush forest and a large Nature House that offers daily interpretive talks and family events during peak season. At low tide, the beach features rich tide pools, perfect for observing a variety of marine life. On the beach, sandcastle building, sunning, swimming, exploring tide pools or just frolicking along the shore are all part of the Miracle Beach experience. Located on the waterfront midway between Courtenay and Campbell River, this park provides easy access to both communities and a wealth of entertainment... It also serves as a great base camp for day trips to nearby Denman and Hornby Islands. Nearby you'll find horseback riding, golf, fishing and numerous other recreational activities. If you’re at the park in June, be sure to catch the non-competitive annual sandcastle building day, where people of all ages create fantastic sculptures for all to enjoy.
