My two kids checking out the sunset, I told them to go pose for the photo but they decided to hold hands while doing it.

Own Beach

I was the only one who woke up to watch the sunrise so had the beach all to myself.

Nothing like having the beach all to yourself!

San Josef Bay Beach

Our original plan for the summer was to take the kids to the Yukon but our travel plans didn't work out because of Covid so we spent a couple weeks exploring some places we haven't been on Vancouver Island. This was our favorite, San Josef Bay in Cape Scott Provincial Park. It is a 5 hour drive, half of which is on a gravel logging road, then an hour and a half hike and you reach this beach. We camped right on the beach which stretched for kilometers.

Empty Beach

Beautiful San Josef bay beach on a cloudy afternoon, still amazing even in bad weather.

Inland Lake Bike Trail Boardwalk

A great thing about Inland lake is the bike trail around the entire lake, which includes this boardwalk over the lake.
