Florencia Bay

Ahh, Flo Bay – a favourite of the locals. Back on the Ukee side of the junction, Florencia Bay and Halfmoon Bay are both accessed by the same trail (and are both worth checking out), located at the end of Willowbrae Road. With gravel, dirt and stair sections, it generally takes about 20 minutes to get to the fork. You’ll be rewarded with an epic beach, and a plethora of bird species… listen for the chirps and trills of song sparrows or the throaty call of the red-throated loon. Expect to see surfers and others enjoying the water, including seals and even sea lions!

Florencia Bay is located within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. You’ll need a Park Entry Pass for access to all beaches and trails within the National Park Reserve.
