Located in the Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island is a beautiful piece of nature called Florencia Bay beach.  A short walk in to the beach brings you into a natural paradise of sun and sand.  I have been visiting this beach for many years and it is still very untouched and natural.

This beach is very easy to walk and is surrounding by trees, sun, and surf.  What more could you want in life?  Listening to the sound of the water breaking in on the shore is very relaxing and clears your mind.  As humans we think too much.  Calming the mind is important to your health.

Lots of driftwood washes up here and some artistic folks enjoy the peaceful atmosphere to create their masterpieces.  I was very impressed with the above Driftwood man.  He stood tall on the beach and appeared as a watcher of all activities.  I have seen similar driftwood creatures on other beaches but this art is fantastic.

This is a perfect beach for a long walk when the tide is low.  There are lots of interesting shells, rocks, and sea creatures to be seen.  In addition this is a fantastic beach to go play outside!

I hope you get a chance to visit your favourite beach this weekend.  Nature soothes and heals the tired human soul.  Above all being beside or in the ocean is my Zen place to be.

My black Labrador dog loves the beach.  Black Beauty will go anytime you want her to.  She especially loves her beach toy and will retrieve it for you when you throw it in the ocean.

Only one of many spectacular beaches in the park, this beach seems endless and is a great walk to take if you like to be out on soft sand for hours at a time.
