North Beach is part of Naikoon Provincial Park and is easily accessible by car or foot by taking Highway 16 from Masset, which then turns into Tow Hill Road. A popular clam-digging, crabbing, beachcombing, ATVing, and hiking area, the beach is wide, sandy, and offers beautiful ocean views, large amounts of driftwood, storm watching (in the off-season). The beaches have hard-packed, wet sand and some pebbles. In Haida tradition, North Beach is the site of creation, where a raven first brought people into this world by coaxing them out of a clam shell.
