East Sooke Park Coast Trail

East Sooke Park Coast Trail

1 p.m. hiking along the Coast Trail in East Sooke Park

This has to be one of the most scenic places to hike on southern Vancouver Island. And it’s actually a short drive from Salt Spring Island. We travelled from the park to the Crofton Ferry Terminal via Humpback Road and the Malahat in about 75 minutes.

It’s an Island

Island Home

Turns out that when you have an island, people tend to want to live on the edge.
And this home does that. And it checks a lot of boxes: 180 degree view, waterfront, all-day light, privacy, etc.
(the etc. includes a guest house, a huge shop with meeting room/studio, acres of forest and pasture; you know…lots of good stuff).

South Beach

I think part of the draw of the west coast is the never-ending sound the waves make as they relentlessly march up and across the sand and gravel beaches. When you take the first ferry from Vesuvius to Vancouver Island, you can be reading your book—in the sunshine at coffee time—on this beach. And I saw a couple doing just that. I took a few photos and left them—with the beach and this gorgeous spring weather—to themselves.
