Hesquiat Peninsula Provincial Park
Hesquiat Peninsula Provincial Park is a provincial park at the western extremity of the Clayoquot Sound region of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The Hesquiat Peninsula forms the division between the Clayoquot Sound region, to the south, and the Nootka Sound region to the north. The park contains 7,898 ha. and was created as part of the Clayoquot Land-Use Decision. The peninsula is named for the Hesquiaht group of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples. Hesquiat Indian Reserve No. 1 and adjoining locality and former steamer landing of Hesquiat are located on its southeastern tip. Estevan Point, a lighthouse that was the setting for one of the few Japanese military attacks on North America in World War II, is on the southwestern tip.
