Chesterman Beach


Chesterman's Beach, approximately 3 kilometers of white sand and scattered rock outcroppings, from the North West end by the Wickanninish Inn to the South East where it terminates in a rocky shoreline penetrated with massive crevasses and caves. About mid point the beach swings off in a spit to the South and at low tide joins up with Frank Island. During severe winter storms the ocean pounds on the island with such severity the waves actually crash over the rock formation at the center point creating two islands.

As you explore with your friends and loved ones, discouver the soothing effect of this expansive beach with numerous tide pools among the rock formations and driftwood piled along the high water mark . Time seems of little essence as you delve into sand castle building or flying a kite, running, jogging or just strolling with the waves rolling in along side. Watch the surfers or try it yourself. Photograph the incredible sunsets or catch that special moment as the sun breaks through during a winter storm. As the evening approaches, light a fire and roast a few marshmallows.
