Smugglers Cove Provincial Park July 9th 2012
On July 9th on our way back from camping on the Upper Sunshine Coast we stopped into Smugglers Cove Provincial Park for an easy hike in this amazing cove! Here are a few photos I wanted to share from out very hot hike in the forest and on the shoreline.

that first pic you posted, farthest left of the four nice shots ... that pond to your left is actually an archeologically significant site. You might have noticed it looks like a huge, shallow tidal pool and that's because it is.
The entrance to the pool has the remains of small rock piles used as a makeshift dam by native people for centuries. During abundant herring runs, they would use sticks, and surface noise to sort of herd fish in there. Then when the tide went out the fish would be trapped in that large pond. Brilliant.
A lovely spot. We walk in there often, and sometimes boat in there too. Snorkeling is really good there in a hot summer when we get some decent warm weather
