I visited San Josef Bay in Cape Scott Provincial Park on Vancouver Island along with my husband, our two children as well as my father in the Summer of 2012.  It was one stop on our three week road trip on Vancouver Island.  Our home town is in Victoria, BC on the very south tip of Vancouver Island, so our hope was to get to explore our home island and to go as far north as possible.  So for us, San Josef Bay represented the most northern point that we could venture as a family with young children.  It is true, one can hike further north, to the very tip but that is for the more adventurous.
