On the water

Flat to slightly choppy water in Boundary Bay. Sandy bottom. Very shallow for a long distance — ideal for touching down. Tide plays a major role: at low tide, the water retreats very far. Best at high tide or mid-tide.

Hazards

Swimming zone to respect in summer (potential conflicts with swimmers). Mudflats at low tide. Very shallow water that can cause issues with fins. Local regulations may apply — check current rules. Cold water.
