In
Theo Dombrowski's excellent, must-have, book on "secret beaches", the
Biggs and Jack Point Park beach is listed as #62 on page 165 (
Secret Beaches of Southern Vancouver Island). To cite Dombrowski, "there are plenty of options for curling up in a sandstone basin, perching atop a sandstone couch or peering into tidal pools."
In a word, this beach is all about sandstone. Although there are plenty of examples of sandstone beaches on southern
Vancouver Island and the
Gulf Islands, this one at Jack Point has perhaps the biggest concretions I've seen in the area. Of course, there are plenty of examples of the tripe-like erosions here as well.
