About this Raft Cove wall art

Raft Cove sits on the outer coast of northern Vancouver Island, a crescent of sand between a forested headland and the mouth of the Macjack River. It is not on anyone's list of the world's best beaches, unlike San Josef Bay a few kilometres north, and that is the point. North Island surfers know it. Almost nobody else does.

We drove the logging road out past Holberg in July 2022 and carried our camping gear down the muddy trail to the beach, then settled in near the river for the night. As the sun dropped toward the Pacific the spray lit up and a haze hung along the headland. I set up down the sand with the surf running in beside me and let the light do the work.

This Raft Cove Vancouver Island print holds that light, a warm July evening on an empty beach that took some effort to reach. As Raft Cove Provincial Park wall art it suits a room that likes the quieter corners of the coast.

About This Spot

This Raft Cove print was made on the beach north of the Macjack River mouth, looking along the sand toward the headland as the sun set. Raft Cove Provincial Park is reached by gravel logging roads from Port Hardy through Holberg, then a 2 kilometre trail that is muddy in any season, so boots and a light pack help. There are no facilities, only backcountry campsites near the river, and the beach faces the open Pacific, so July sunsets arrive late and linger.

About the Prints

Ways this Raft Cove Beach at Sunset print can live on your wall

Raft Cove Beach at Sunset as a framed print.

Framed Print

The print is on 230gsm archival matte paper, matted with a two-inch Peterboro white core mat, and finished in a thin black wood frame. The most traditional of the three finishes, and the one that suits almost any room.

Raft Cove Beach at Sunset as a metal print.

HD Metal Print

The image is dye-sublimated into the coating of a ChromaLuxe aluminum panel, not printed on top. That's what gives a metal print its depth, its luminescence, and its longevity. Comes ready to hang on a hidden mount that floats it half an inch off the wall.

Raft Cove Beach at Sunset as a acrylic print.

Acrylic Print

The image is face-mounted behind a 1/8-inch optically pure acrylic panel. The thickness adds depth, giving the print a slight glass-like quality where the image seems to sit just behind the surface. Polished edges, with a hidden mount on the back that floats the print half an inch off the wall.
