About
Nestled along the shores of Portage Inlet in View Royal, B.C., Seabird Park is a tranquil 0.14-hectare green space offering direct waterfront access and rich local wildlife. Located where Craigflower Creek meets the inlet, an area uniquely known as the ‘deadman’ section, this small estuary is a neighbourhood gem for paddlers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers.
Park features & activities
Scenic walking & seating: Take a brief 75-meter stroll to Seabird Point. A waterfront bench offers sweeping southward views across the water.
Paddling launchpad: The park features a muddy, rocky shoreline that serves as an accessible natural launch site to get your paddleboard, kayak, or canoe directly into the inlet.
Local flora: The western perimeter is bordered by a rustic split cedar fence, Himalayan blackberries, and a native arbutus tree, while spruce and willow trees naturally frame the northern property line.
A birdwatching haven
The meeting of Craigflower Creek and Portage Inlet creates an ideal estuary habitat for observing migratory birds. Bring your binoculars to spot a variety of species from the shoreline, including:
Gadwalls and widgeons
Wood ducks and geese
Loons and grebes
Plovers and terns
