THE STORY
The story of
French Beach.
A beach with a traveller’s story
BC Parks traces the park’s name to James French, who settled on land west of Sooke in 1885 after an adventurous journey across Canada. His family remained connected with the property, and his much-loved beach became French Beach Park in 1974. The park lies within the traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke First Nation.
The nearby residential area carries the same sense of forest meeting open coast. A beach walk, a picnic among the trees or a view across the Strait of Juan de Fuca can give an ordinary day a little more room. Homes here suit people who enjoy a quieter coastal base and are comfortable planning their trips for town services.
