Dionisio Point Provincial Park on Galiano Island borders Porlier Pass and the Strait of Georgia, and features a sandy beach and tidal lagoon. Trails extend through the old growth forest to pocket beaches fronting Porlier Pass.

One forest walk winds out to a day-use only area along an isthmus to Dionisio Point, near Coon Bay. Tent camping is allowed at the designated walk-in campsites.

From the Sturdies Bay ferry dock on Galiano Island, stay on Sturdies Bay Road for 2.7 km to the junction with Georgeson Bay Road, near the Hummingbird Inn. Turn right onto Porlier Pass Road and drive another 19 km to Cook Road, near the Bodega Resort. Turn right and follow the signs for about 5 km to the park.
