Definitely great beach to stop at. The entrance builds anticipation as you can see the blue sky and you know there's a beach at the end! Great view. Great for families, couples, campers and day trippers. Stay for a few days or a few minutes, it's always a great stop.

These gardens are a wonderful nature walk, years of effort poured into making it so delightful. The lights and choirs at Christmas make it magical. On the Victoria day weekend in May the annual Art and Blooms Festival places an original works by painters, potters, sculptors, glass blowers, original stained glass designers, garden art and other unique art forms. On the Labour Day Weekend in September they present high quality original works ... pottery, fine art, ceramics, carvings, furniture, weaving, jewelry, wrought iron, and glass combined with local musical talent scattered throughout the various groves of the grounds. It's a delight.

Easy access one way in or at the end of a long set of trails along the Puntledge River it's a fascinating trip. Starting in late August and through to early October watching the salmon head upriver for spawning is amazing. At the hatchery seeing the salmon stacked six feet deep and twenty feet wide at the spawning grounds is a must see for nature lovers.

Seal Bay Nature Park offers a beautiful hike through the forest and some rest at the beach. It's a quiet place, not known or visited by many tourists. I enjoyed exploring it with my dog.

Beautiful park close to Comox, easy walk through beautiful forest down to the river where there is a beautiful falls. Enjoyed watching the salmon trying to swim up the falls - mid October - while sitting on the rocks. Trail us easy, flat and just a few steps down onto the relatively smooth rocks by the falls.
