Ella Beach Park is in the seaside community of Sooke, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This waterfront park provides access to the large cobble shoreline along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The view across the ocean waters is to the Olympic Mountains of the Washington State peninsula. At night, the lights of the community of Neah Bay may be visible. There are often migratory marine birds in the waters of the beach. The beach is formed of large cobble stones that have been rounded by the ocean waves.
