Visiting UNIQUE Beaches on Vancouver Island! (Sombrio Beach, Mystic Beach, & Botanical Beach!)

The Juan de Fuca Trail is a 47km wilderness trail that runs along the coastline between Jordan River and Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. While it’s a popular trail for backpacking, it’s also a great place to do some day hikes and experience it’s beautiful beaches!

We spent a couple days exploring three different beaches along parts of this trail, each with very unique features, plus visited a couple local businesses, and every spot made us fall more in love with this island. ❤️
