Help Armours Beach get an upgrade!
Gibsons Rotary, in collaboration with the Town of Gibsons and the Elphinstone Rotary Interact Club, is fundraising to build Phase 2 of the Armours Beach Improvement Project to provide people in our community (especially kids and youth) an active, outdoor, free space to hang out in the summer. Less screen time, more active fun!

About Armours Beach
Armours Beach is a favorite spot for both locals and visitors, offering a picturesque setting for swimming and relaxation. During the summer months, enjoy jumping off the dock or take advantage of the gently sloping sandy beach access. The park above features picnic tables, accessible washrooms, and an outdoor shower for added convenience.
Location: Marine Drive
Armours Beach Improvement Project
Phase 1:
- In 2018, Armours Beach underwent a significant facelift, which included terracing at the site to increase accessibility, construction of a new washroom facility, landscaping and the installation of new park furnishings.
- In 2019, the work continued, with the six vertical pilings and log booms to delineate the swimming area replaced in late summer. In October, the foreshore area was fortified and the stone staircase down to the beach was completely rebuilt.
- In 2021, with the help of the Rotary Club of Gibsons, an automated external defibrillator (AED) was installed in the washroom facility at Armours Beach.
Phase 2:
- In February 2025, Gibsons Rotary presented Council with a proposal to build Phase 2 of the Armours Beach Improvement Project with a focus on marine park improvements including a small slide, a diving board, a kayak/paddle board storage rack, a sheltered beach area raked of rocks and with imported sand.
- Council agreed to support the project and be a key partner in helping to raise community awareness.
