CANADA ~ Wickaninnish Beach - Pacific Rim National Park - Vancouver Island ~

... And last but not least a beautiful National Park view👍...Wickaninnish Beach is part of Long Beach which is the longest stretch of beach on Vancouver Island's west coast and located in the Pacific Rim NP...  it is one of the more popular beaches because it is long, beautiful and lined with high end resorts... you can walk forever along the shoreline... backed by huge weathered silver logs... a lot of people do water sports here: windsurfing, surfing, swimming... from the beach visitors can acces different hiking trails... there is also a visitor centre and small museum at one end... Thanks so much Glenn for 4 wonderful vacation postcards and hopefully the start of many more great trips!❤️😊  

Pacific Rim National Park established in 1970 has a total area of 49,962 hectares of land and rugged Pacific ocean located on the western coast of Vancouver Island. The park is a made up of three separate regions: Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail. 

Features of the park include long rugged coasts, sandy beaches, an island archipelago, old-growth coastal temperate rainforest and significant Nuu-chah-nulth archaeological sites. 

A rich natural heritage evolved as Vancouver Island became isolated from the mainland, retaining a great diversity of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish species.
