This is our favourite beach and it's so close to our house! Go at low tide and you can walk for a while on the beautiful sandy beach. The water is pretty warm in the summer as well so we love to go swimming here.

Checkout the beautiful swimming pools and falls. Be careful not to go too close to the falls! The water is nice and warm, and there are more private spots to swim if you go further up the river.

Visit Nymph falls in the morning or after dinner if you don't want to see lots of people. This is a popular, beautiful spot for swimming! The trick is to go at the right time. The water is warm and the pools are magical. There are also really nice trails for hiking.

A MUST SEE when you visit Comox! The spit is lined with a driftwood fence to protect it from erosion. There is a sandy beach you can walk to at low tide or paddle to that people call "Little Mexico." If you feel like a workout, hike the steps that go up the steep sandy bank. There are gorgeous homes overlooking the water there, and great blackberry picking in August.

This beach is very close to the suite. It's usually pretty quiet if you prefer to be away from the crowd. There is some sand and then a rocky slope to the ocean at low tide. We like to walk along the beach but there is also a short gravel walking path (next to the road, right above the beach) that would be good for an evening stroll at sunset.
