Review:

China Beach is situated along the Juan de Fuca Straight in the southeast town of Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island’s west coast. The trailhead to the beach can be found at the far end of the lower level of the China Beach day-use parking lot. It is a well maintained, wide trail that is pretty easy to use traversing past large Douglas-fir trees, and a wooden platform overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca before reaching China Beach. A family-friendly beach, common activities include sandcastle building, picnicking, wading, and exploring the beautiful waterfall located at the beach’s western end. During spring and fall, visitors will also be able to spot families of migrating grey whales.
