The Botanical Loop Trail connects Botanical Beach and Botany Bay. This is an easy hike of approximately 3 kilometers with little elevation gain. The descent to the shore and tide pools is via wooden plank stairs. The starting point is the parking lot at the end of Cerantes Road, which leads to Highway 14 or West Coast Road in Port Renfrew.
