 Coast Salish Legend:

The story goes that "Mutcha" was a giant mink transformed by the spirit God Swaneset, because of its uncontrollable greed. The long sand spit is Mutcha’s tail, while the beaches are its belly and back.

Sidney Spit is located within the 400-hectare Sidney Island Marine Park. The long sandy spit and adjacent lagoon, forests and open grasslands offer a surprising variety of wildlife and are some of the most important shorebird habitat near southern Vancouver Island.
