Ekins Point is a locality in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ekins Point is located at 49.5289°N, 123.3908°W.
Ekins Point lies nestled at the confluence of the Fraser River's broad, slow-moving embrace and the stoic, ancient presence of coastal mountains. It lies 25.3 km south-west of Squamish, BC (from Squamish, BC: bearing 222°T), and is situated 13.7 km north-west of Lions Bay. The land here is a study in patient, geological artistry; gentle slopes, softened by centuries of rainfall and wind, descend towards the water's edge, their flanks often cloaked in the deep greens of Douglas fir and cedar. Where the forest recedes, fields unfurl, a patchwork of cultivated earth that breathes with the scent of damp soil and, in season, the sweet perfume of ripening berries. The air itself carries a unique character, a cool, moisture-laden kiss that whispers of the nearby Pacific, and the light, especially as the day wanes, often pools in liquid gold across the water, lending a transient, ethereal beauty to the rugged landscape. The history of Ekins Point is inextricably linked to the lifeblood of the Fraser River, a waterway that has shaped its fortunes and its very identity. For generations, this locale served as a vital nexus for Indigenous peoples, their presence a deep, resonant hum beneath the surface of modern life, marked by the enduring stories held within the land and the water. Later, the lure of timber and the promise of fertile ground drew settlers, establishing a modest but enduring local economy rooted in agriculture and the harvesting of the forest's bounty. While the grander industrial ambitions of larger centres may have bypassed Ekins Point, a quiet resilience persists, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have called this particular stretch of British Columbia home, fostering a distinct character that values hard work, neighbourly connection, and a deep respect for the natural world that surrounds them.
