"At the far side of MacKenzie Beach lies a campground called Crystal Cove Resort which looks out onto this little hidden gem of a cove.

The last time I was there I could not locate the distinctive tree in this painting. It must have fallen." - Rod McAuley -

MacKenzie Beach is a large sandy beach protected by  rock outcroppings and an island formation. It is home to a number of ocean front resorts and campgrounds and is situated 3 km south of the village of Tofino. British Columbia.
