Crayola Beach is a small, off-leash dog beach with beautiful west-facing views – this would be a great place to enjoy a sunset. There is a long on-leash path from the road to the beach front area. Along the way you will find fence posts painted to look like Crayola Crayons. A fun place to visit with your dog.
Parking is limited – street parking is available for about a half dozen vehicles.
The trailhead is to the left of 974 Windjammer Road.
Are dogs allowed on Bowen Island Beaches?
Bowen Island’s municipal website says that, “dogs are currently allowed off-leash in all municipal parks but must be kept under control by owners.” It also says that “dogs are not allowed on Tunstall, Sandy or Bowen Bay Beaches in July and August,” however, “at all other coastal access points, leashes are optional, so long as your dog is under control and kept within 3 metres of you.”
“Public beach,” as defined in Bowen Island’s Animal Control Bylaws, “means those public lands located between the low water mark and fifteen (15) metres upland of the high water mark of any body of salt water”
