Botanical Beach
Although Botanical Beach isn't really much of a hike, being only a short kilometer from the parking lot, it's still a gorgeous sight to see. Going to Botanical is all about going at the right time. My friends and I managed to get there during sunset when the tide was low enough to walk around the rocks and explore before the tide came in, and I managed to take some of my favourite photos so far this year. This beach is full of long, deep tide pools, sea stacks full of life, and plenty of barnacle covered rocks. As well as a few sandy-ish beaches to explore. The longer you spend here wandering the rocky shores, the more you'll begin to like it, that is if you haven't already had your breath taken away as soon as you step off the stairs. Botanical Beach is located past the town of Port Renfrew at the top of the hill.
