Yesterday evening I headed down to Halfmoon Bay in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve to catch the late evening light. This beautiful little sandy beach has a great north-west orientation and lots of little rocky islands and silohuetted trees for sunset photography.
Access to the beach is via Willowbrae Trail. Park at the end of the gravel Willowbrae Road which is about 2km from the Tofino/Ucluelet junction going toward Ucluelet. The Willowbrae Trail is an easy 1.4km walk along what used to be a gravel road. Some sections of the trail have large old growth trees while other parts are more boggy. Walkers have the option of descending down a long flight of stairs to Florencia Bay or taking a side trail down a different flight of stairs to Halfmoon Bay. This set of stairs and trail is about 500m long. If you’re considering photographing the sunset make sure that you have a light source for the trip back to the parking area and your car. Enjoy!
If you’ve enjoyed these sunsets make sure to check out more beautiful skies at Skywatch Friday!

Loved the sunset photos. Are you doing a calendar for 2011?
I’m not too sure – I think if anything I’ll set something up at Zazzle and folks can order it if they like.
Awesome, extremely beautiful & Perfect postcard captures!!!
