About Gooding Cove
Now managed in Partnership with the 4 Wheel Drive Association of BC, Gooding Cove Recreation Site is a remote access rec site on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It is truly one of the rare gems of the North Island, hosting a beautiful sand beach and freshwater on site, this is a location not to be missed during your exploration of the area.
This remote and rustic site is accessed via the community of Port Alice. Users should be prepared for unmaintained industrial roads, logging traffic, flash flooding, and be fully equipped for self-rescue in the event of an emergency.
A reminder to all users: driving on intertidal areas (any area which is below the highest water mark, ie the beach) is an offence under the Federal Fisheries Act and could result in charges by the DFO.
