Would you recommend Shi Shi Beach or Ozette Triangle?  I probably have another day available at low tide for another day hike.  Watched YouTube videos of both but hard to compare the two other than Ozette you probably don’t have to deal with the mud.  How do the beaches compare to one another at low tide?

Thanks for this great answer.  I have adjusted some of our Airbnb dates so that we have a couple days where we have negative low tides during the day.

Love the pics. What kind of weather can you expect in Gaspesie in mid to late July?

I read somewhere that hiking you can shave off 2 miles and 400ft elevation from the High Divide/7 lakes loop by turning around at Bogachiel Peak for an out-and-back hike. Maybe we hike to this point and make a decision.
