Comox Valley Beaches
The Comox Valley is rich with a number of fresh and salt water beaches. There is no shortage of places to swim in the summer time. Along the Puntledge River there are a number of swimming holes including Lewis Park, Puntledge Park, Condensory, Stotan Falls, Barbers Hole, and a number of others.
Comox Lake is perfect for a family outing or picnic, and a great place to bring the boat and do some water skiing. There is also a privately owned campground with reasonable prices perfect for those who want to get away, but still have amenities like showers, flush toilets, and a near by concession.
There are ample salt water beaches surrounding the Comox Valley. The two most common are Goose Spit in Comox and Miracle Beach in Black Creek. Both offer a vast sandy beach perfect for a day of fun. Miracle Beach is part of a provincial park and offers camping and all the services one would expect.
Pages with specific information, photos, and directions for each of the following beaches will be added shortly.

Which beaches are best for suntanning..not necessarily swimming?
Thanks!
Hi Diana,
Any of the sandy beaches would be great for tanning. Try:
Ocean: Kye Bay, Miracle Beach, Airforce Beach, Goose Spit (All good at low tide)
River: Stotan Falls and Nymph Falls ahve some good spots also, but it is on rock, so comfortable spots may be more difficult to find
Lake: Comox Lake, at least at the cumberland side, offers a sandy beach that would also be perfect, but harder to find a semi private spot as the beach is rather small.
Hope that helps!
