Sunset at Black Rock - Big Beach

Just steps away from the ‘Mystery Shipwreck’ in this gallery. The sun sets fast and the ocean is relentless as it continues to shape the coast line. It’s hard to imagine that any ship of any size could safely navigate this rugged coastline.

Wild Pacific Trail

Ucluelet, BC. Wild Pacific Trail, just off the main parking area on Coast Guard Road. The surf can be fierce, the clouds majestic and the rocks are razor sharp which have claimed hundreds of ships over the years thus being vastly known as the 'Graveyard of the Pacific'.

The Big Beach Mystery Shipwreck

Imagine the storm that swept this sailing ship to her final resting place over 100 years ago. Her name is lost in time but as early as 1896 the bottom timbers of a ship were reported lying ashore in the this area. Judging from her timber of Douglas fir, wooden peg and from drift-pin fastenings, this ship was probably constructed somewhere on the Northwest Coast of the Americas in the mid to late 1800’s. This area is well documented as being the “Graveyard of the Pacific”.

A glimpse into the history of fishing and shipping on the west coast. This old fishing vessel has been sitting here for as long as I have been frequenting the area. She certainly has a story and I’m sure it was a well loved and cherished part of local history on these waters in Ucluelet.

Wild Pacific Trail - Lighthouse Loop

Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is an active lighthouse near Uclulelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, named after Amphitrite, the sea goddess and wife of Poseidon in Greek mythology. It is also known for one of the sample pictures in Windows 7. Originally built in 1906 in response to the shipwreck of the Pass of Melfort, it was replaced in 1915 with the current building to better withstand hurricane force storms. Enjoy this iconic sentinel keeping watch over Barkley Sound and the archipelago of the Broken Group Islands. Watch boats and seabirds which change with every season. Over 300 species migrate through the Ucluelet Peninsula.

Long Beach-Pacific Rim National Park

Long Beach is the largest and longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is on Wickaninnish Bay between Tofino (NW) and Ucluelet (SE) and is adjoined by campgrounds and picnic areas. The Tofino-Ucluelet highway parallels the entirety of the beach. The beach's consistent surf, exposed to the open Pacific Ocean, established it as one of the earliest and most popular surfing locations in British Columbia.
