Love uncovering hidden beaches? This provincial park in BC has just that – and it’s a fave among locals. Situated along the beautiful Juan de Fuca Strait, Jordan River Regional Park is a popular destination for Victoria and Sooke residents during the warmer months, and it’s definitely worth checking out for yourself.
From the parking lot, visitors can follow a short 400-metre hike through coastal rainforest and old-growth cedars on a scenic boardwalk trail to the famed Sandcut Beach.
Named for its unique sandstone formations, the 3.5 km-long cobbled beach is the perfect place to spend a spring or summer afternoon, and even has access to a picturesque oceanside waterfall!
