Probably one of the most beautiful beaches, one of the cleanest, most pristine. Spent the morning at Miracle Beach, on Saturday. I took over a hundred photos. I love this place so much, and I think I'll post them in small groups , here and there, just to show you and tempt you to come to this place. Stand on the sand bars and just feel it. It's a place that has to be felt, seen and experienced.
The trail thru the forest is your first contact with Miracle Beach, which is situated between Comox and Campbell River on the east side of Vancouver Island.
Not an old growth forest. But old enough. There are hiking trails , and a campground.
And then suddenly. There it is......at low tide.
Some picnic areas. Clean. Organized. Away from beach area itself.
And then you step onto the wilds of Miracle Beach.
And the experience of the vastness will overtake you.
As far as the eye can see......
Looking north towards Quadra Island
Looking towards the coast mountains.
The tidal pools.
Freighters and tugs that pass in the Passage.
The rippled sand. Best time to come is at low tide. In the morning, is you can swing it.
When there is no one around, except for the few who are out for their morning walk.
Buckets left by the single family I saw toodling around the sand bars.
Kids and their mom just having a whale of a time digging in the shoreline .
Looking for neat things
Sand dollars for one. You are not allowed to take them off the beach. THough I am sure some do. I must admit I have take a few broken shells here and there. The tide is so clean. So fresh. Best to leave what you find......
The kelp will thank you........ ( Part 2 later on)
