Porteau Cove Provincial Park is a 56-hectare oceanfront haven for scuba divers, kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders, beachcombers and those just looking for a place to relax by the shore. It's a little bit of oceanfront paradise just a short drive from downtown Squamish
.
By day, the park offers plenty of exploring through its driftwood beaches, tidal and intertidal marine life, sunken ships, artificial reefs, picnic areas and pebble beaches. Climb the stairs on the viewing deck and try to spot seals roaming the waters below or walk down to the sandy beach to go for a swim. Paddlers can enjoy endless views staring out at Anvil Island. The park is also home to a sunken marine park which is a popular spot for scuba divers to explore.
By night, the area is cloaked under some of the darkest skies in the Sea to Sky Corridor with endless stargazing potential. Reserve one of the cozy Olympic Cabins or book into one of the 44 drive-in and 16 walk-in campsites. Porteau Cove Campground is open year-round with reduced fees in the winter.

NOOSA/QLD (12th March, 2012): DAY two of the 21st annual Noosa Festival Of Surfing sponsored by Global Surf Industries dawned clear and bright and, despite the Gold Coast and Brisbane suffering more heavy rains, barely a sprinkle touched the shores of Laguna Bay.
As with the opening day, the waves were modest, but a predicted build throughout the week held hopes of event organizers and contestants high throughout the day.
The day’s proceedings were divided between four events; the Sunshine Coast Airport Amateur Men’s SUP, the eagerly anticipated inaugural Laguna Bay Longboards Logger Pro, The Men’s Open Amateur sponsored by Classic Malibu and the Old Guys Rule Men’s 60+ age division.
The standup paddleboarders began the proceedings with aplomb, the added volume of their boards aptly suited to the softer conditions. Local surfer and Australian longboard champion, Jackson Close, showed his diversity, out-performing his adversaries in both his round one and round two heats held across the day. Having paddled his way to victory in yesterday’s five-kilometre Sunshine Coast Airport SUP race, Lincoln Dews took a more agile approach in the waves, easily throwing his board through some very impressive manoeuvres, but just forfeiting the heat win.
Across the globe, trends in longboarding have been veering significantly towards a more traditional approach, both in surfing and in equipment. For the first year, the Noosa Festival of Surfing truly embraced the resurgence with the addition of a logger event this year.
The noserider division has always been a favourite at the festival, and the Logger Pro, sponsored by local surfboard manufacturers, Laguna Bay Longboards, proved equally as popular and well justified its inclusion in the proceedings.
Some outstanding surfing by the likes of Nic Jones (Maroochydore, QLD), Geoff Fanning (Noosa Heads, QLD) and another local, Alex Bullpit, impressed the spectators, but the first round was dominated by the Japanese contingent.
Satshumi Suzuki and Yuta Sezuta were just two of the team of the Rising Sun delicately dancing up and down their traditional-style boards, noseriding through impossible sections and riding through to the beach for excellent scores and a very strong finishing result.
Local shaper and superb exponent of the old school, both in the water and in the shaping bay, Thomas Bexon, surfed phenomenally on one of his own exquisite creations, making hanging ten, reverse walks to the tail and tight pivoting turns look deceptively easy and graceful despite his adequate frame.
The Classic Malibu Men’s Open kicked off under crystal-clear skies, the sun warming the beaches and encouraging spectators to flock to the shoreline. Usually a high-performance event, featuring lightweight, highly refined surfboards, the Men’s Open this year saw a scattering of boards, from the more conventional three-finned boards seen in this division to the heavy single-fins that several of the competitors had also used in the Logger.
As the tide diminished, so too did the waves, although not enough to alter venue arrangements, and those Opens competitors opting for the traditional equipment could definitely be seen to have the edge. Nic Jones again outshone, using his single-fin despite his usual penchant and forte on performance equipment.
Rounds two and three of the Sunshine Coast Airport Amateur Men’s SUP offered very little in swell, but Jackson Close again proved his renown, using his paddle not only to gain speed through his rides but also to pivot and lever his way through some extraordinary turns.
Wrapping up aquatic activities were the sexagenarians, proving that they are still as young inside as any of the festival’s competitors and still oozing talents in the waves, even putting many of their more youthful peers to shame.
But, as with all coming days throughout the festival, activities weren’t sparse after the beautiful hinterland sunset.
Presentations ensued at the beach bar before Peter Howe and Tim Gaze once again took to the stage, providing the soundtrack for the Summer&Salt fashion show, the brand’s unique line of surf and swimwear being modeled on the sand at First Point.
Continuing proceedings, a gamut of cinematic delights entertained the crowd, Jack McCoy personally presenting a preview to his latest creation, “A Deeper Shade Of Blue”, McCoy showing with his exceptional footage exactly why he has developed such high renown in the industry.
Local band and festival regulars, the Band Of Frequencies performed a live soundtrack to some unique George Greenough footage and, wrapping up the night, “Sons Of Beaches ‘72” premiered, a movie looking at the Australian team’s groundbreaking part in the 1972 World Championships in San Diego. As a highlight to the film, Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, a member of that original team and a legendary surfer, was joined by Hawaiian, Larry Bertlemann in presenting the timeless and historical documentation of that phenomenal event of 40 years ago.
The action will restart tomorrow at 7:00 sharp
Paddleboarders after sunset at Dundarave Beach, on a warm summer evening. Shot with my Hasselblad 500c with Cinestill 800T film.
These pics represent some of my favorite shots from 2024 cause they showcase why my neighborhood is the best. Making Halloween magical and sharing the fun with all.
Down on the seashore the sun was turning the sea into a plate of silver light when some paddle boarders came into sight. They were obviously learners as a couple of them fell in while they were in sight.

Today I took Amber to Southease and we walked down the river and then up onto the downs around Telscombe then accross Telscombe Tye and on to a favourite barn for lunch and then back along the SDW to Southease about 12 miles in all. The weather was dry and the sun did appear from time to time but there was loads to see and so 16 images covering birds the sea ships and shadows silhouettes and reflections.
The stroll from land to houseboat, down the ramp from Lotus Isle Park to Island Cove Marina--always so much to see! This was a new one. A class of paddleboarders getting familiar with their craft in the relatively tranquil waters behind the moorage.
Yeh. I like it, this latest fad. I gotta get me one o' them paddleboards, after the fashion wears off and folks get tired and need to sit down. Now, they're selling for about a thousand dollars or so. I expect to buy one far cheaper than that, once the Used market starts filling up.
Not that I begrudge anyone finding their own kind of fun. "Whatever floats your boat," the saying goes. I've learned the boat floats a lot better when you get your center of gravity down low. (I call it "center of gravity" first time I mention that rule, after that, the phrase is "fat ass".) Now I'm trying to impress that rule on Fox, the newest mutt in my dog pack. He's not convinced and humans like these folks setting a bad example aren't helping. I'm sure they're great fun on quiet lakes and the like, but not my craft of choice for river currents and navigating through choppy boatwakes. Jes' sayin'...
But, I'll be checking the thrift shops and yard sales later this summer. These things look big and beamy--perfect for a Fat Pirate to take a prone postion and frog stroke through the shallows, maybe even room for a small dog. Cowabunga!
I've noticed a lot of paddleboard photos lately and I know of at least 3 good reasons why.
1. Paddleboarders start at the shore and paddle out. Surfers start in the waves and by the time they get close enough to the shore to take a decent picture, they're through doing the cool stuff. When surfers turn around to paddle back out, all you can get is shots of their butt crack.
2. Paddleboarders move slowly. That means you don't have to muck around with speed settings and high ISO's and other things that increase your chance of blurry photos. I typically get blurry photos of fast moving items like brick walls so I can use all the help I can get.
3. There's millions of them. Because it's the new cool thing to do, paddleboarders are like mosquitos. If you're in a watery area, it's likely there will be a paddleboarder near you, more likely there will be 20 or 30. They had a guy at my hotel pool who's only job was to keep paddleboarders out of the shallow end. True story.

One of the paddleboarders did the 6-miler with his little girl cracking the whip from the throne he'd set up for her. As he rounded the bouy, I could hear her saying, "faster, Daddy, FASTER!"

Our Daily Challenge 5- 11 Sept 2014 : I Wish.
They look as though they are about to have a pile-up, and the instructor in the red seems worried!
I sometimes wish I felt confident enough to learn to do this. I'm still a fairly strong swimmer and I have good balance but I don't want to fall and break something at my time of life!
