My posts | Beachy!

During my stay here we took a lot of trips to nearby beaches just to walk a bit. The coastline is mostly made of rocks and other stuff, with just small stretches of beach between them. This luckily results in nice and interesting rocks to climb before you can get from A to B. Since most trips can be connected to each other so I'd think we walked quite a distance from the house. The sights along the coastline are amazing! I especially like the contrast between the beaches drowning in hot sunny weather and the mountains seen in the distance, still covered in snow. Below I place a few of the pictures taken on various beach walks.

From Kye bay to Kin beach

The beaches between Kye bay and Kin beach are located next to the local Comox airfield, which is both a civilian airfield and a military airfield. As a consequence there are parts were you are not allowed to get of the beach because you would end up in the local military thingy. At the time we walked there the sea was at it's lowest point and this resulted in a nice large beach.

Goose spit

Goose spit, at walking distance from our home, is just a small strip of road with sandy beach on both sides. These beaches are the favorite "let's go for a swim" locations for Comox. The pictures below are from today, actually showing the beach during its busiest hours: there were almost 20 people!! Compare that to Zandvoort... :-) At the end of the strip there is a small patch of Native American territory. It's not big: just a patch of land with 100 trees or so, and to irritate them a little bit it is almost impossible to reach, since there is a navy base located just between there and the road, so you can only reach it by following the beach or by boat.

The first few pictures from this set were also taken there.
