French Beach Park

This Park is also along the Port Renfrew trip however here is what makes this park stand out. The parking lot is nicely paved and there are plenty of toilets with paved paths. As well as several benches and a little child playground. As well as being a very nice beach. The parking lot is not only paved and but also very close to the beach making it a very convenient lunch spot since even if you are tired you can simply plop on a bench or drift wood and have a nice lunch with a good view.

Here are the pictures of the park.

 

China Beach Provincial Park

The China Beach Provincial Park is on the coast of Vancouver Island on the way to Port Renfrew. This park has a bit of a hike but is definitely worth it not only because of the forest in the park but also due to the beauty of the beach this park fairly popular and of course has toilets. The parking lots are however gravel which you would like to pay attention to. This park is also attended by the park watchers which have some water bottles and watch the vehicles in the lot to prevent theft. They are not always there though.
This park can also be found along the Langford to Port Renfrew Trip.

I did not take any pictures of the beach itself however these are the pictures of the trail which also gives an overview of the beach.

Cathedral Grove

Cathedral Grove is in MacMillan Provincial Park. This Park is notable because it has some of the oldest growth forest in BC left today. The trees can be hundreds of years old here and are breath taking.
The immensity of these trees can hardly be described with words. Which is why I have some pictures in this article to show how impressive these trees are. Now these pictures were taken during early spring so it is warmer there now then it is in the pictures.
Here is a map as to where the park can be found. It can be reached within half an hour from Qualicum Beach so it can be a quick little trip if you do not wish to go all the way to Tofino but want to something that immensely impressive.

The park is also outlined in the article on the for the Trip route from Qualicum Beach to Tofino. Which includes a few pictures from the Beach you could see if you went there.

Here are the promised pictures from this park, they give you an idea but don't do justice to these immense and impressive trees.
