The 2.8-kilometre Willowbrae Trail is a short hike that follows a wide gravel route before descending down a long wooden staircase to a beautiful, secluded beach area. Although the Willowbrae Trail begins south of the Tofino-Ucluelet junction, the trail is still within Pacific Rim National Park.
From the dirt parking lot, walk through the wooden gate and along the wide, gravel path as it heads in an almost straight direction towards the beach area. Follow the trail as it eventually reaches the boardwalk, and towards a long stretch of stairs that take you down to the beach. Walk down the steps and onto the beach, but be careful as waves tend to come right up to the edge of the stairs during high tide and storms.
