While at the University of Victoria attending a basketball tournament, I had some free time and looked around for a nearby park. A short car drive away I discovered the Arbutus Cove Park. What a delightful place. It offers a view out over the water and rugged coastline. There is an excellent, but long, flight of stairs down to the shore line. And, of course, there were those beautiful arbutus trees to enjoy.
Signage said this is part of the San Juan Gateway. With more time available, I'm sure I'd happily do more exploring.

Beautiful views out over the water at Arbutus Cove Park. Nice pathway, benches and a picnic table are available.

This is the start of the very long flight of stairs down to the beach. Surrounded by trees, there's a lovely view of the forest opening out onto the water and beach.

Quite a few people had made the long climb down to the beach. A beautiful day for time near the water.

Time didn't permit beachcombing so I didn't go all the way to the bottom of the stairs. Even so, it looks like a long way back up.

I find arbutus trees beautiful. They add so much to a visit to Vancouver Island.
