About Ucluelet

Ucluelet is a diverse, active and welcoming community that has been shaped over time by the energy of the place and the people drawn here to the natural setting of the rugged outer west coast of Vancouver Island. Located on the narrow Ucluth Peninsula between Barkley Sound and the exposed Pacific Ocean, Ucluelet’s name (‘safe harbour’ in the Nuu-chah-nulth language) points to the key position of the town in this spectacular landscape.

Poised on the edge of the Pacific, the community draws its energy from the interplay of the contrasting and complementary qualities of the landscape and the people. A short stroll takes you from Big Beach and the surge of the wild Pacific to the Whiskey Dock in the centre of the village and the calm waters of the harbour.
