Apodaca Park is a BC Parks site on the eastern shoreline of Bowen Island at the mouth of Howe Sound. BC Parks says the park is only accessible by water and has no mooring or dock facilities.
The park is on the traditional territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations.
Apodaca is a small marine-accessible park for paddlers and boaters who want a rocky beach landing, tent-pad camping, a short trail, coastal bluffs, and Howe Sound views. BC Parks describes scenic cliffs, rocky knolls, and a seaside stand of Douglas fir, arbutus, and shore pine.
The shoreline bluffs protect unique plant communities, including a small population of blue camas. BC Parks says Apodaca is one of the few sites in the region where blue camas is known to grow.
Activities include hiking on the short beach-to-campground trail, ocean swimming at a small pebble-and-cobble beach, canoeing, kayaking, ocean fishing under BC tidal area 28 regulations, wildlife viewing, and camping on tent pads only. A kayak-and-canoe rack is provided.
Designated viewing areas overlook southern Howe Sound.
Plan around water-access camping, beach landing by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, short trail walks, coastal bluff viewing, cold ocean swimming, tidal-area fishing, birding, deer and marine wildlife viewing, and photography.
There is no drinking water, no garbage service, no dock, no mooring, and a permanent campfire ban. Respect surrounding private property, camp only on tent pads, watch ferry waves, shallow boulders, wind, currents, and BC Parks updates.
