Whilst in Ucluelet we had a few days spare, either side of our Clayoquot Sound trip, and we were able to take advantage of the beautiful Wild Pacific Trail.
The trail runs along the Pacific Coast from the lighthouse at Amphitrite Point , north to the start of Long Beach. Passing only a kilometre from our accommodation, we walked both north and south on different days.
With spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, there are look outs that are worth stopping at. Towards the north of the town there are a number of loops in the trail, providing vantage points, specifically designed for artists to aid their work. We saw seals playing in the ocean from one of these vantage points.
The walking is easy as the trail is well maintained. It follows along the cliffs, but within the rain forest, as there are few accessible beaches on this part of the coast, but the views are magnificent
We walked another part of the trail on Flores Island, in Clayoquot Sound, from Cow Bay to White Sand Cove. This area is different as most of the walking is on beaches, only entering the rainforest at headlands. Designed to aid shipwrecked sailors find settlements, the walk runs along the west coast of Vancouver Island.
