About this site
Christmas Point sits along the coastline of Vancouver Island, in the waters of British Columbia near the southern tip of the island. This area of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and surrounding channels is known for cold, nutrient-rich Pacific waters shaped by tidal currents moving between the Pacific Ocean and the Salish Sea.
