Botanical Beach Park
Botanical Beach is on the west coast of Vancouver Island northwest of Victoria.. The beach has 251 hectares of forest habitat, but most people visit to see the abundance of intertidal life at low tide. The area is a protected zone, so please leave only footprints and take nothing but photographs away from here.
The area is one of the most amazing places on the entire West Coast. Beach goers can walk a long way out across flat sandstone and granite outcroppings to view tide pools filled with brightly colored, incredible beautiful purple, red and orange starfish and sea urchins, red rock crabs, small fishes and all kinds of creatures that it takes your breath away.
Botanical Beach is located in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, near Port Renfrew on the south coast of Vancouver Island. There are 3 other areas to the park: the China Beach Campground, the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, the China Beach day use area.
