Day Four: Fast hike today. Thought we couldn't camp on the beach but this happened to be one of the best beach campsite with windbreaker lounge area built in. This section is predominantly coastal. Hikers will find themselves exposed to the effects of the open ocean with little in the way of cover in inclement weather. Camping is possible along the pocket beaches northwest of the cable car but no facilities are provided. Consult tide tables to ensure high tides do not hinder progress along this section. There is a short easy inland section to the second cable car crossing located at the Stranby River. Look for signs of the old corduroy settler’s road on the west side of the cable car. Beach sections alternate between, sand, gravel and cobble while passing by innumerable tidal pools and rock shelves exposed at low tide. This section is teaming with wildlife. Bald eagles perched in old growth Sitka spruce, and black bears foraging in the beds of seaweed, are quite common. There is another creek ford east of the Laura Creek campsite. It is generally easy to cross, but rocks in this area are very slippery. There is a designated campsite with four tent platforms, a food cache, and a pit toilet located approximately 200 metres west of Laura Creek. Laura Creek is the only good water source along this section of trail.
