A well-known and popular beach on Vancouver Island is getting international recognition.
Mystic Beach was recently included in a list of the top 50 beaches in the world.
The list, published by Enjoy Travel, features destinations like Koekohe Beach in New Zealand, “Pig Beach” in the Bahamas and Dream Beach in Indonesia.
“Whether you’re in the market for a secluded sandy stretch or a buzzing beach party, you’re sure to like the look of a fair few of these beaches,” says the travel company.
In the case of Mystic Beach, the article says that, although Canada might not be the first place that comes to mind when talking about beaches, with its 15,000 miles of beautiful shoreline, it really should.
Mystic Beach is on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, along the Juan de Fuca Trail.
A bit of a hike through a lush forest will take you to a sandy beach complete with a magical waterfall.
Make sure to bring a blanket, a picnic, and a good book so you can soak up the beautiful surroundings all day long in the summertime!
