Rock Climbing Areas Near the Coastline

While Vancouver Island is best known for its forests and beaches, it also offers a handful of coastal rock climbing areas that combine physical challenge with stunning natural beauty. Sites like Horne Lake near Qualicum Beach (more inland, but with ocean views), Elk Bay north of Campbell River, and Pye Mountain near the west coast offer climbing routes where forested trails lead to rugged walls, and summits reveal sweeping views of coastal inlets and offshore islands.
