The song ‘Cake by the Ocean’ inspired me to live on Vancouver Island for a year. I think everyone should live on an island at least once. The adventures in nature were so healing and calming for me.

This shot is from Qualicum Beach. Although this particular beach receives a great deal of press, the entire walkway is in great need of repair and updating.

I recommend checking out the beach in Parksville instead, or better yet, Rathtrevor Beach. Rathtrevor is PHENOMENAL and it incorporates an old growth forest trail with a beach trail–the best of both naturally beautiful worlds. Pure nature bliss!

Cake by the Ocean!
