UCLUELET, BC - THE PACIFIC RIM

Ucluelet is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island next to the Pacific Rim National Park. It has a population of 1900 and is primarily a logging, fishing and tourist village. Ucluelet is south of the Long Beach portion of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and north of Barkley Sound which houses the Broken Island group. Ucluelet is on a small peninsula. On the inlet side it provides a protected area for the marinas and pleasure boats. The Pacific side offers a wild and rugged coastline interspersed with small bays and beaches. The lodge is on the Pacific side. Ucluelet is a good base for sport fishing, whale watching tours, walking, hiking, surfing, ocean kayaking, golfing and nature tours.
