Bluffs Park and Bellhouse Park (Active Pass)
48° 52.0′ N · 123° 20.3′ W
Two Galiano parks above Active Pass. Bellhouse Park is a grassy point at the water's edge where you can watch ferries thread the pass; Bluffs Park sits high on a ridge with views over the pass to Mayne, Salt Spring and the Penders.
Practical
Coordinate is the OSM viewpoint at The Bluffs (Bluffs Park, about 180 m / 590 ft up). Bellhouse Park is at the east end of the pass near Sturdies Bay, an easy walk from the ferry village. There is no good place to leave a boat right below either park: land at Sturdies Bay or Whaler Bay.
