South Beach

South Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve

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.

      Absolutely. But South Beach is very protected and it was certainly t-shirt when I was there.

      Indeed we are. And since a place to visit has to be pretty special—coming from a place like Salt Spring Island—it’s good to remember that beaches like this are lurking tantalizingly close by!
