Ever wondered how to reach that stunning sandy beach on Active Pass you glimpse from the ferry? Here’s your chance—not just to visit, but to own the only waterfront lot at Secret Beach. This rare south-end property has a 1.5 GPM well, power at the lot line, and a roughed-in driveway to a view site above the beach. Nestled among arbutus, Garry oak, fir, and cedar, watch orcas glide through tidal waters below or follow your private trail to the beach for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. Adjacent to Matthews Point and Bluff Park trails, with direct access to forested bluffs and sweeping views. Zoning allows a home and cottage. Don’t miss this rare chance to own a slice of Galiano paradise—and build the dream home you’ve always imagined.
GETTING HERE Less than 3 km from Sturdies Bay, Orca View Lane is a private laneway and common area that winds west from Mary Ann Point Road. The lane follows gently rolling, forested terrain to Orca View—a brand-new rural residential development featuring four bare land strata lots adjacent to the Matthews Point Public Beach access trail.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Hike directly from your home to the stunning Matthews “secret” beach midway in Active Pass. Maybe catch sight of the orcas that regularly traverse these stunning tidal waters. Matthews Beach is opposite where the super ferries pass – that remote strip of sand below the bluff that you’ve always wondered how to get to. From the beach trail, continue west through Matthews Point Regional Park which links directly with the incredible Bluffs Park. Miles of protected bluffs, breathtaking views, and forests with meandering trails without crossing a road. At low tide, the shoreline comes alive with marine life—explore tide pools, rocky outcrops, and the serene rhythm of coastal living.
