Rocky outcrops of South Beach, Pacific Rim National Park, Long Beach Unit, Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, West Coast, Pacific Ocean, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. South Beach is a walking/hiking trail in the Long Beach section of the park. Long Beach stretches for over 16 kilometres and is anchored by Schooner Cove on the north end and Florencia Bay on the south end. The most easily accessed vacationing destination beach of the Pacific Rim National Park is the sandy coastlines of Long Beach located between the towns of Tofino, BC and Ucluelet, BC. In the late spring, summer and early fall the beach area is a popular surfing, sun tanning, photography, relaxing, rainforest hiking and beach walk destination. In the mild winter months the beach is a scenic wonderland of storms and crashing waves. The different portions of the Long Beach section are referred to by the locals as Wickaninnish Beach, Combers Beach, Florencia Bay and Long Beach. Sea Lion Rock off of Combers Beach is a bird nesting site and Sea Lion viewing hot spot.
