Botanical Beach Provincial Park

Reviewed By JacqBeNimble - Vancouver, Canada

5 min drive from Port Renfrew and you're at the parking lot for this park. Take the 2.7 km loop to the right to Botany Bay first and then follow along the trail SE to Botanical Beach. Both places will not disappoint. At Botanical Beach you'll find lovely tidal pools full of lovely sea creatures (sea anemones, chiton, etc.). It will make you love the natural world even more than you already do. Please go and tell the world!

Sombrio Beach

Reviewed By claireB353 - Courtenay, Canada

Beautiful beach spent the day sitting in the sun November in our TSHIRTS! Well away from others but still able to chat. Lots to look at especially enjoyed all the surfers. We went to the two different entrances. The north side was more isolated and the hike in mucky and the beach very rocky. The suspension bridge was fun. The south side more populated and more surfers to watch.

Avatar Grove

Reviewed By MarneeW_13 - Oshawa, Canada

We visited the grove on a trip to Port Renfrew - it is a beautiful ancient forest - one can almost feel the souls of the trees. We enjoyed it immensely. The road up there is a pretty rough logging road, so be prepared for that!
