Miracle Beach - Williams Beach

20 cycling stops along this route · Vancouver Island

70 km · Full dayEasyCalm streets, some sharingMixed surface

Between Miracle Beach and Williams Beach north of Courtenay, out-and-back rides of 3 to 70 km follow quiet roads and forest trails along the shoreline, with Saratoga Beach's long sands and warm shallows the family favourite. Gentle grades, frequent wildlife, and more beach stops than progress allows.
