Anderson Bay Park is a BC Parks site on the southeastern side of Texada Island, in the Sea to Sky region. BC Parks describes it as a separate parcel of park on South Texada Island's eastern shore and an extension of South Texada Island Park.
The bay provides well-protected anchorage from all sides except the southeast.
Anderson Bay is a small marine-oriented park for boaters, paddlers, anglers, divers, and hikers who are prepared for a low-service stop. BC Parks says the small island and peninsula are included in the park, but the head of the bay is private land.
The official page notes there are no camping facilities or other services. There are no developed trails in the park, though nearby South Texada Island Park has many old roads suitable for mountain biking and hiking.
Water activities are the main draw. BC Parks lists canoeing and kayaking, with no designated kayak or canoe campsites; visitors must find a suitable haul-out or camping spot and practise Leave No Trace. Ocean fishing is good for salmon, rockfish, and lingcod, but the page warns of exposed coastal conditions. Scuba diving is available for self-equipped parties, with no rentals.
Plan around sheltered anchorage, canoeing, kayaking, ocean fishing, self-equipped scuba diving, informal hiking, South Texada old-road exploration, intertidal life, birding, and black-tailed deer viewing.
Confirm marine weather, southeast exposure, private land boundaries, fishing rules, no-service conditions, camping suitability, Leave No Trace practices, charts, emergency gear, and BC Parks updates before travelling.
