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.
