Kye Bay Beach

Kye Bay Beach is one of Courtenay’s most beloved local beaches, known for its sandy shoreline, tidal pools, and calm waters. At low tide, visitors can stroll along the expansive sand flats, build sandcastles, or explore the reef, where crabs, oysters, and starfish are often found. As the tide comes in, the shallow water warms quickly over the hot sand, making it ideal for swimming and wading. Families love the abundance of tidal pools for kids to play in, while beachcombers can collect shells and other natural treasures.

With no nearby shops, packing a picnic is recommended for a perfect day of seaside relaxation and outdoor fun near Courtenay.
