Let yourself be surrounded by waves and trees. Explore the Park's trails,
enjoy leisurely sunsets on Schooner Cove, or watch a spectacular west coast storm.
Explore the shoreline, small tide pools are full of surprises.
The islands close to Long Beach Haven and Schooner Cove make this beach magical.
It is also 'wild'... Ospreys, river otters, seals, sometimes grey whales, eagles, kingfishers and
sandpipers are at home on this coastline. You will chance to see a deer walking on the beach
in the early morning hours. A black bear could stroll by. Wolfs and cougars are not so easy
to see, but their presence can sometimes be felt. We can only describe
the feeling of their proximity as one of 'heightened awareness'.
Plan a day hiking kilometers of sandy beach to Wickaninnish Centre
on the other side of the bay. Enjoy lunch at the Wickaninnish restaurant
and visit the Wickannish Visitor Centre, then walk back to Long Beach Haven in
late afternoon past sand dunes and small creeks.
The village of Tofino is just 15 minutes drive away. And Ucluelet is only 30 minutes away.
