Beddis Beach
Beddis Beach extends along the southeast coast of Saltspring Island, British Columbia, about 25 kilometers off the mainland coast. This portion of the Pacific Northwest coastline is characterized by wooded coniferous cliffs that plunge towards cold, clear waters, typical of the Gulf Islands archipelago. The immediate coastline alternates between pebble beaches and rocky access points, shaped by the glacial modeling that marked the entire region. The beach itself remains relatively preserved, bordered by a dense forest of Douglas fir and red cedar. Unlike Yeo Point Beach, located 2.9 kilometers to the northwest and more frequented by kayakers, Beddis Beach offers more direct access from the coastal road. 3 kilometers to the west is Cusheon Lake Beach, a completely different freshwater body. The site has a wild and tranquil character, with direct exposure to the tides of the Strait of Georgia, making swimming dependent on tidal cycles and Pacific weather conditions. No services are present on site: no toilets, no developed parking, and no lifeguard service. The site has not obtained Blue Flag status. Access remains informal, with no facilities for people with reduced mobility. The beach is suitable for self-sufficient visitors seeking a raw coastal experience, far from the standardized infrastructure of Saltspring's tourist beaches.
About this spot
Beddis Beach is named after the first European settlers who established themselves on Saltspring Island in the mid-19th century. The island itself, discovered by the Coastal Salish peoples long before the arrival of Europeans, became a haven for artists and alternative communities in the 20th century. This particular beach remains little documented in tourist guides, reflecting the insular and preserved character of Saltspring. Geologically, the region bears the scars of the last ice age, with glacial till deposits and striated rock formations visible at low tide—a tangible reminder of the power of the glaciers that shaped the Pacific Northwest millennia ago.
