Long Beach Part 1

After Cathedral Grove it was on to Long Beach. The road out to Tofino/Ucluelet is a winding, narrow and hilly road. Some of the scenery along the way.

We stopped at the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Visitor Centre and paid our fee. The day pass was $19.60 for the family and it was good until 4:00 PM the next day. 

Our first stop was the Wickaninnish Beach. This is part of Long Beach which is 16 km long. The weather was perfect.

There was alot of dead crabs on the beach.

There were quite a few surfers in the water trying to catch a wave.

The water was a little cold. The only ones in the ocean were the ones with wet suits. The girls enjoying the beach.

After a couple of hours on the beach we headed over to the Interpretive Centre.

Angela and Claudia found a tide pool with some sea anemone.

One more shot before heading inside.

Swimming

We went swimming today at the West Vancouver Aquatic Centre. It was a pretty neat place, it had a little tube river as well as a big water slide. The three doors in the picture were like garage doors, it was like parts of the pool were outdoors.

It was a pretty impressive building.

You can see the open air concept behind the girls, the doors on both sides slide open.

When we got back we went out for dinner at a Chinese food restaurant with Grandma, Grandpa, Mo and Auntie (Grandpa's sister/Mo's Mom). We have filled ourselves on this trip with delicious food, including lots of salmon, seafood and Chinese food.
