Long Beach - A trip in February

It's February. Not a good time of year to travel to the west coast of Vancouver Island, you'd think. WRONG! In our mind, ANYTIME is a good time for a visit to Ucluelet, Tofino and Long Beach.

Follow the rest of our trip report on the captions to the pictures...

Compulsory stop at the water rushing past islands of rocks near Wally Creek.  Parking and access has been made easy.  However, DON'T attempt to walk about the rocks if they're wet!

Once we arrived in Ucluelet, we had enough time for a short walk  along the Wild Pacific Trail to the lighthouse at Amphitrite Point.

Vancouver Island in Pictures, Post #01

Let's start this blog off with a few recent pictures of Vancouver Island.

You can't go too far wrong by starting off with images from the Long Beach area; in this case, three pictures from Florencia Bay.
The quintessential West Coast beach scene; drift logs and fine sand

Beautiful sandy beaches, so typical of Long Beach

Strolling along the beach, I'm accompanied by the persistent "peeeep", peeeeep" of a pair of Oyster Catchers
