Sombrio Beach is a great base for exploring around Port Renfrew and Juan de Fuca Park. There is fantastic tide pools to explore. It can get a bit crowded by the surfing and party folks, but we figured by not coming down on a long weekend it might help a bit. We spent a couple of nights camping on the beach.

On our second day we headed for a day trip to Botanical Beach. The tide was only partly out, so it wasn't quite as spectucular as last time we were here, but there was still a lot to see. We also tried to find the "Red Creek Fir"-the largest Douglas-fir in Canada. After a bit of cruising along logging roads out of Port Renfrew (following signs nonetheless) we could't find it (maybe next time)

On our way home, Kessa was off dancing in Victoria, so the kids and I headed to Fort Rodd National Historic site and the Fisgard Lighthouse.
I love all the family adventures. Lucky kids!
