Sandcut Beach, located near Sooke, is a popular day-use area and part of the Jordan River Regional Park. It's a 3.5 km long, cobbled beach characterized by sandstone formations eroded by the Pacific Ocean. A notable feature is a double waterfall created by Sandcut Creek, cascading onto the shoreline.

Here's a more detailed description: Sandcut Beach is situated between French Beach Provincial Park and Jordan River, approximately 31 km west of Sooke on Highway 14.

Access: A gravel parking lot provides access, and a 15-minute hike through a wooded trail leads to the beach.

Beach Type: The beach is primarily composed of stones and pebbles, with sandstone formations.

Waterfall: Sandcut Creek has carved a double waterfall that falls directly onto the beach, making it a unique and scenic spot. You can even stand under the falls for a refreshing shower.

Wildlife: Sandcut Beach is a good location for viewing marine life, including gray whales, humpback whales, orcas, eagles, and seals.

Trail: The trail to the beach is suitable for families with children, and the stone beach and waterfall are popular with visitors.

Hiking: The trail is described as rugged and wooded, with some elevation changes, including steep rustic steps.

Other features: Sandcut Creek has created a unique waterfall, with the water disappearing beneath wave-washed pebbles. At low tide, you might find small coves of soft sand and even some fossils.
