Welcome to the Wild Pacific Trail

Inspiring through Nature

Nature's voice is strong in this place if we listen. Whether you walk here every day or for the first time, observe the cascade of ecosystems as the trail showcases coastal forests, bogs, mudflats and the creatures that thrive here if we give them space. Give yourself time to explore interpretive signs along the trail, or join a free guided walk with an Naturalist. Benches are spaced along the trail so you can just sit a while to observe the flora and fauna living on this wild coastline. Please visit with respect in the traditional Territory of the Ucluelet FIrst Nation.

This 8 kilometre coastal trail can be walked in two main sections:

Lighthouse Loop ( 2.6 km loop) plus Terrace Beach Interpretive Trail (.5 km one way)
Big Beach to Rocky Bluffs (5 km one way) plus Ancient Cedars Trail (1 km loop)

Interpretive Programs expanding, visit us at Amphitrite House Interpretive Centre!
