Whytecliff Park is the westernmost park on the Northshore. It shares the same exit off the highway as Horseshoe Bay. They are within 5 minutes drive from each other. This is a full featured park with a beach, playground, picnic areas and plenty of quiet spots amongst the rocky outcroppings. The views from the edges of the park are spectacular. Bowen Island across Queen Charlotte Channel, stately ferries, engines rumbling, sailing past, sailboats, powerboats, vistas of Vancouver Island, harbour seals sunning themselves and so much more.
A unique feature of this park is its use as a diving location for experienced divers as well as novices doing training dives.
