49°37′51″N 123°48′22″W / 49.63083°N 123.80611°W / 49.63083; -123.80611Sechelt Inlets Marine Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, that protects six separate sites along three inlets north of the city of Sechelt. The six sites are located at various locations on Sechelt Inlet and its two side arms, Salmon Inlet and Narrows Inlet. Established initially as a recreation area in 1980, it was converted to a park in 1999, consisting of approximately 140 hectares (350 acres) in total.[1]
The park sites are only accessible by boat or floatplane, and are popular destinations for kayaking, paddling, scuba diving and viewing wildlife. Chaudière Artificial Reef is located near Kunechin Point, one of the six park sites. Sunk in 1992, the HMCS Chaudière was the first Canadian Destroyer sunk for use as an artificial reef.[1][2]
