Survival at Sombrio
This is a wilderness area
Be Prepared!
There are lots of trails around the beach and many that also hook up with the Juan De Fuca Trail. Always check the signs and know where you are going!

Before hiking out here (even if its a day hike) let someone know where you are and when you should be home!  This region is prone to sudden storms that can create turmoil and cause injuries.
Below is a quick list of things you should bring with you, if you must go and see this wonderous place for yourself!		 People at the cave entrance
