Salmon Beach, BC, Canada

Salmon Beach, BC: Submarine Cable Landing Point

Salmon Beach is a landing point located on the coast of British Columbia, Canada. It serves as the shore entry for one submarine cable, the Connected Coast system, which reached its ready-for-service date in 2024. As a domestic cable connecting points within Canada, Salmon Beach participates in a regional coastal corridor rather than an intercontinental route.

The Connected Coast cable is a domestically focused system, linking Canadian communities along the British Columbia coastline and beyond. Salmon Beach's role within this network reflects a broader national effort to extend submarine cable connectivity to smaller and more remote coastal communities across Canada.

Cables Landing at Salmon Beach, BC

Connected Coast is the sole submarine cable landing at Salmon Beach. The system reached its ready-for-service date in 2024 and connects multiple landing points entirely within Canada. It does not extend to any foreign country, making it a domestic cable designed to serve Canadian communities. No cable length is recorded for this system at this landing point.

Regional Context

Canada's submarine cable infrastructure spans 21 cables across 155 landing points, and Salmon Beach, with one cable, sits alongside a number of other single-cable landing points in British Columbia, such as Addenbroke Island. Larger British Columbia hubs including Prince Rupert and Vancouver each host two cables, placing Salmon Beach among the more modestly connected landing points in the province. Within Canada's broader network, Salmon Beach ranks in the top 97 percent of all Canadian landing points by cable count.

Network Role

Salmon Beach functions as a single-cable terminus on the Connected Coast domestic system. Its connection is oriented entirely toward intra-Canadian coastal connectivity, linking it to other communities served by the same cable rather than to international endpoints. This makes it a terminus node rather than a multi-cable hub, with its network value defined by the domestic reach of Connected Coast across British Columbia and other Canadian coastal regions.

Within the Canadian submarine cable graph, landing points like Salmon Beach represent the extension of undersea infrastructure to communities that would otherwise rely solely on terrestrial connectivity options. Its presence in the Connected Coast network reflects the cable's design intent to serve distributed coastal communities along Canada's Pacific shoreline.
