Brickyard Beach

Offering a unique slice of Gabriola’s history and shoreline charm, where the remnants of the island’s industrial past meet the natural beauty of the coast. Scattered with old bricks—remnants from the island’s brickworks era—this beach offers a fascinating blend of geology, history, and scenic views across Gabriola Passage. At low tide, exposed rock shelves and tide pools invite exploration and beachcombing. Popular with locals for its tranquil atmosphere and south-facing sun, Brickyard is also a great spot to launch a kayak, enjoy a quiet shoreline picnic, or simply take in the salty breeze and coastal vistas. It’s a living reminder of Gabriola’s working heritage and a peaceful place to reflect by the sea.
