The Wild Pacific Trail is Ucluelet's premier walking path, showcasing where the temperate rainforest meets the ocean. The full trail is 8km long (one-way) but I'd recommend walking the 2.6 km Lighthouse Loop as a priority.

This well-loved section of the trail takes you through a mossy old-growth rainforest to the rugged rocky coastline, offering breathtaking views of the ocean, secluded beaches, crashing waves, distant islands, and the Amphitrite Lighthouse.

Start this easy hike at the parking lot halfway down Coast Guard Road. It takes around an hour for the loop hike - allow more time if you want to fully immerse yourself in the incredible scenery!
