SANDCUT BEACH NEAR SHIRLEY, BC

Sandcut beach is a popular beach with Victoria and Sooke residents, Sandcut Beach is a 3.5km long cobbled beach which is part of the Jordan River Regional Park. The beach offers spectacular views of the Olympic Peninsula and boasts an impressive waterfall at the south end of it.

There is a fantastic walk through the forest to get t the beach, which takes about 20 minutes. The last ten minutes is steep and down many stairs, which you really feel on your way back up at the end of the day. This is the beach where I gather lots of dried out kelp root balls.
