The parking lot at Sombrio Beach will be temporarily restricted over the May long weekend.
BC Parks says they are taking “safety measures” to discourage illegal activities, such as parties and vandalism, which they say have occurred in past years.
The 2.5-kilometre gravel access road leading from Highway 14 to the parking lot at the Sombrio Beach trailhead will be closed to vehicle traffic from Friday, May 19 at 7 a.m. to Monday, May 22 at 12 midnight.
All locations within Juan de Fuca Park, including the designated campsites and access trail at Sombrio Beach and the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, remain open to the public.
The three remaining trailheads to the Juan de Fuca Trail at China Beach, Parkinson Creek and Botanical Beach are still accessible by vehicles.
