Wild Pacific beaches, old-growth rainforest and surf on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Long Beach is 16 km of sand; Tofino offers surfing, whale watching, bear watching by boat, and storm watching in winter.


The Wild Pacific Trail at Ucluelet follows the cliffs. The West Coast Trail is a famous tough multi-day hike (permit needed).
