An Island View Beach Walk (9/5/23)

Today, Bob, Rafa, and I went back to the first park that the homeowners had taken us to when we first arrived for the walk through— Island View Beach Regional Park. It’s an easy 10 to 12 minute drive south down Highway 17 to the park along the shore of the Haro Strait. The park itself was as busy as we’ve seen with lots of dog walkers — townies like us but also campers at the park as well. There is a short walking path, but you can walk up and down the shore as well, depending on the tide levels. We were there at relatively high tide, so mostly stayed on the trail for ease of walking.

As you’ll see from the pics, it’s a lovely area and is also a bird habitat for resident and migratory birds.
