On August 2023, we parked the car at one of two parking lots next to Mystic Beach trailhead at Juan de Fuca Provincial park just off W Coast Rd, past Helgesen creek. The hike through the woods was both enchanting and rewarding. I hiked 4.1 miles total, crossing a suspension bridge, going down steps and over lots and lots of roots. I’d describe the hike as moderate because of roots and steps, I found my hiking stick helpful. It is a popular trail, ran into quite a few hikers. At the beach I took my time watching the waves crash against the rocks. We selected this hike hoping to see the waterfall at the beach. The waterfall was barely trickling due to recent drought nevertheless it was an enjoyable hike, the trail is well marked with red markers on the trees. It took 2.5 hours for the round trip with an elevation increase of 610ft. I remember my first sight of the beach at the end of the trail, so beautiful! Take care to head over to it at low tide.
