Looking for one of Vancouver Island's most breathtaking beaches without tackling a strenuous hike?
San Josef Bay in Cape Scott Provincial Park is the perfect adventure!
Just a scenic 2.5 km walk (about 45 minutes one way) along a wide, well-maintained, stroller-friendly trail, you'll arrive at a spectacular stretch of white sand beach that has earned a reputation as one of the most beautiful coastal destinations on Vancouver Island.
Towering sea stacks, dramatic rock formations, tide pools teeming with marine life, and hidden sea caves make every visit unforgettable. Be sure to time your trip with low tide to safely explore the famous sea caves and discover even more of the bay's natural wonders.
Travelling with your four-legged companion? San Josef Bay is the only area within Cape Scott Provincial Park where dogs are permitted, provided they're kept on a leash, making it a favourite destination for families and pet lovers alike.
