West Coast Trail

Pachena Bay Sunset

The blue sky is struggling to emerge at Pachena Bay. Earlier in the afternoon, the bay was covered in clouds and you couldn't see the trees in the distance. The sun is just setting on the right side and brightening the forest on the left - that lasts only a minute or so!

The West Coast Trail starts just off this beach which is part of the Anacla Treaty Settlement Lands. There is a nice drive-in campsite (with no bear bins for backpackers) near this beach.
