Sechelt Inlets Marine Park provides safe and enjoyable access to Sechelt, Narrows and Salmon Inlets. Ideal for kayaking, the Inlets allow quiet exploration of a part of the rugged landscape that is typical of the northern Strait of Georgia. Steep, forested hills surround the Inlets, with many small waterfalls cascading down rugged slopes. Sandy beaches offer safe pullouts for camping, swimming, fishing or scuba diving. Protected anchorages can be found at Kunechin Point and Tzoonie Narrows.  HMCS Chaudiere, a WWII submarine tracker, was sunk as an artificial reef in 1992 at the mouth of Salmon Inlet and is considered to be one of the top diving spots on the Pacific coast. Several lesser-known wrecks are also in this area. Guided kayak, dive, sports fishing or boat charters and floatplane tours are widely available. The  Sechelt Inlets Marine Park is 20 km (12.5 mi) north of Sechelt and is only accessible by boat or floatplane. Public access is from Porpoise Bay Provincial Park or from Tillicum Bay Marina, one km south of the community of Tuwanek.
