The Swell Shack is a minute's walk from your parking spot on the property and is a cozy, off the grid cabin. We hiked the Coast Trail in East Sooke Regional Park on the way to Port Jordan, which was a great 10 kilometer hike with a bit of scrambling and lots of amazing views. Other highlights included Botanical Beach for a short stroll through the woods- we saw pods of orcas swimming by, thousands of mussels on the rocks, and a black bear who walked down to the shoreline. French Beach is great for picnics and post-hike beachgoing because the parking is close to the water. China Beach was a beautiful sunset beach and felt very private. The Swell Shack had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the composting bathroom was easy to use.
