Two large Douglas-fir trees greet visitors to the parking lot at the end of Witty Beach Road in Metchosin, BC. |
Following the short, but scenic Witty Beach Road in the rural Vancouver Island community of Metchosin, takes you to a small parking lot by the ocean. For most people the beach is the destination, and a beautiful one it is, but there are other attractions.
While beach access from this spot has been restricted recently by a closed set of crumbling stairs, my favourite features remain - two large, old Douglas-fir that dominate the area.
Witty Beach can still be accessed via the main parking lot at Witty's Lagoon Regional Park. |
Access stairs in better times. The steep slope they were anchored on is unstable. |
There are not many big Douglas-fir left, let alone ones you can drive right up to like these. |
