Rathtrevor Beach: Ahhh Memories!
June 5th, 2008some assembly required….. instructions not included
An afternoon well spent. These are some of our creations built on Rathtrevor Beach. I like the spiral one the best.
Rathtrevor Beach is a wide, shallow beach that recedes over a kilometre at low tide making it perfect for beachcombers and castle builders of all ages. Hmmm… it’s only two months until the Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition at the Parksville Beach Festival. I wonder if we should enter…
Incidentally, for you history buffs, Rathtrevor Beach is named after the Irish family who settled on the land that is now the provincial park in 1886. After family patriarch William Rath died in 1903, his wife Elizabeth took over the family farm and eventually converted it to a campground which became Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park in 1967.
Check out the BC Parks website if you’d like more information about the park.
