Miracle Beach. A broad, safe tidal beach that also sports a good campground. One of the main drawing cards of the beach are the massive sand bars at low tide and the marine life.
I just love it here. Best time to come is right about now. Avoid all the tourists. The beach is much more "alone" then. With 137 hectares of "park", it's easy to enjoy the space.
There is a rule for the beach. Look, but don't touch. You're not allowed to remove any of the marine organisms. I have brought shells home here and there, not realizing that you're supposed to leave them on the beach.
The tidal pools are wonderful and warm on the toes.
The Coast mountains stretch forever. Easy to walk to the edge of forever......
Or sit on the sand and sun bake your toes......
Befgore we went I checked the tidal charts online to see when it would be low tide.
Lots of hermit crabs coming up for air. Be careful where you step, they are everywhere.
The land used to be owned by a Mr. Frank Potage. In 1950 the government purchased 57 hectares from Mr. Potage and over the years purchased more land until 1972 when it reached its full size.The beach looks out over the Strait of Georgia and the mountains....they are almost always clouded in blue.
Cabins and permanent homes on the edge...Would love to live here.....wonderful place.
