Nice hike through a rain forest. Lots of old growth and large trees. Most people stop at the whale rubbing beach, sitting waiting for the whales, none for us, good place to stop and let people play.
Trail was very boggy and lots of fallen trees etc so need to be mobile.

We were a group of eight, out for the day to explore Malcolm Island. We drove through the campground to the parking area at the trailhead within Bere Point Regional Park. There’s a tire swing just off the parking lot some of our group enjoyed before we hit the trail. Its a short stroll through the rain forest to an observation deck and the first set of stairs down to the oceanfront. Most of our group opted to park themselves on the beach right there where they enjoyed watching the marine wildlife (whales, seals, and sea birds) and searching for interesting stones or beach glass. A couple of us wanted to stretch our legs a bit more, so after wandering up the beach to explore the small research station located there, we climbed back up to the trail and continued on.
We had had a few days of heavy rain just prior, and there are naturally boggy sections as well so make sure you have appropriate footwear. The path meanders through the forest, with several sections of wooden bridges or boardwalk, some in quite ill repair. There are some lovely large trees, and an abundance of flora to explore. We didn’t go all the way to the point as we were pressed for time, but found a lovely large tree right beside the path, overlooking the water where we sat quietly for a few moments to meditate and forest bathe. Ironically, this was the point when another couple of hikers and their friendly dog happened by, the only other people we saw all day! This is really a lovely, relatively easy and enjoyable trail. It’s an out and back trail, not a loop so gauge your time, and go as far as you are comfortable with before turning about.

The trail is lovely, the beach is world class. We spent the day, saw humpback whales, minke whales, sea otters, harbour porpoise and spent the day listening to the music of the waves gliding through the pebble beach.

A beautiful hike through the woods with ocean views and places to stop along the beach.
Hike is moderate, my 5yr old was able to hike easily.
Our group had 4 children 3-10years old, and 2 adults.
We had binoculars and hoped to see orca rubbing along the beach. We did not see orca, but the whole experience was lovely regardless.
When you enter the day use area, you can drive through the campground and stay to the right, and there is another parking lot at the start of the trail.
Easily a day trip from Port McNeill by Ferry. Take a morning Ferry and return by afternoon Ferry.
Sointula is the town on Malcolm Island the Ferry arrives. It is a beautiful town, and worth time to walk through.

The Beautiful Bay Trail at Bere Point Regional Park is really good. It is a good trail that starts relatively flat and easy and gradually gets more challenging the further a person goes. The trail needs some upkeep and maintenance, but if you don’t mind the extra challenge, go for it! We love staying in the campground and make sure to visit every summer. It’s a fantastic area to see Humpback, Orca whales, and other sea wildlife from shore.

Der ideale Platz um Wale von Land aus zu beobachten. Die Wale kommen recht nah vorbeigeschwommen, Beobachtung ist gut möglich.

The walk sets off from the Bere Point Provincial Park campground. There’s parking at the entry to the campground (by the first viewing platform) and more at the other end of the campground, about 500 metres away.
The walk to the second platform is pretty wide, level, gravelled and there’s the excitement that there may just be an orca rubbing on the pebbles. Very slim chance of course and no luck on our visit. We decided to continue on the trail around beautiful bay but just became disenchanted with the trail, which is a shame because clearly a lot of work has gone into the building/maintenance of the track. But the trail just winds ever deeper and higher into the forest, with few viewpoints and the odd ocean glimpse at best. Add the fact that you have to be watching your feet almost non-stop because of the number of exposed tree roots & other trip hazards and the walk just becomes a grind.
We kept going for about a 6k return, but overall wished we’d turned around at the second platform. If you like forest walks, this will be for you, for us, seeing a couple of Loons and Harlequin Ducks on our return was scant reward.

This place is awesome. It is clean, quite and so lonely. We loved it. Find yourself here. With luck you will see a whale.

The campsite is well kept, washrooms are clean and the views breathtaking. No electricity available.

Our experience hiking Beautiful Bay Trail would have been better had we been able to find the trail head without searching for so long. No signage until you actually stumble across it - and then you're on your own...we kept looking for the viewing platforms that are supposed to be there, but had to turn back without coming across them. The first part of the trail is all in the trees without any view of the ocean. When it does come into sight, it is breathtaking. I would like to have been able to spend more time hiking the entire 5 km round-trip trail but we had to catch the ferry. Maybe next time.
