Route Description for Willingdon Beach Trail
Hiking the Willingdon Beach Trail is the perfect family-friendly adventure in the Powell River area due to the amazing trails, beautiful scenery, and opportunity to learn about the historic logging operations in the area. Old relics from the historic logging industry can be found scattered along the trail and offer both children and adults alike the chance to explore and learn something new. Setting out from the trailhead, follow the path as it leads into the forest to the north and runs parallel to the beach. Along the hike, you will have some intermittent views that stretch across the sand and out onto the blue water of the Strait of Georgia. Towards the end of the trail, you will come to Second Beach, an area where hikers are often able to spot sea lions relaxing along the Sunshine Coast. For an extra special hike, try timing your excursion for the evening to watch an amazing sunset light up the shimmering water.
