This small day-use park on scenic Galiano Island in the southern Gulf Islands is a lovely spot for a picnic. Located on Burrill Point, this park offers excellent views of busy Active Pass, Mayne Island and the Strait of Georgia and is a great vantage point from which to observe the ferries passing between the Gulf Islands.
A short trail through Garry oak meadows leads from the parking lot to the rocky shoreline, where visitors can try their hand at fishing for salmon and cod in the swift currents of Active Pass, explore the unique rock formations or simply observe marine mammals playing offshore. Bellhouse Park is only a short walk north from the ferry dock at Sturdies Bay on Galiano Island, and the route is well marked.
