hikes, walks and outdoor scenery

The lighthouse loop is very close to Salt + Cedar. The trailhead is about 400m from the door and is 4km roundtrip. The trail is a double track gravel trail with ups and downs through rainforest, bogs and along the rugged coastline. It has a little of everything. If you want plan to do only one section of the Wild Pacific Trail, this is my recommendation.

The Wild Pacific Trail is about 8km long, but broken in two by some residential houses. One part of it is the Lighthouse loop, which I've commented on here, but the other section is just as lovely with different views. When you have a choice along the way, walk the artisan loop! You can access this part of the trail just past the Black Rock Ocean resort. There is a parking lot at Brown's Beach.

If you're looking for a more cardio hike, to the top of Mount Ozzard is a 10km up/down. You need a truck or higher grounded car to get to the trail head as it is along a dirt road full of pot holes and rough rocks. (I took my Mini Cooper to the trailhead once and ended up at the shop ;(. The hike itself is along the access road to get to the tower at the top so its not an overly exciting trail but the views at the top make up for it. If it is a foggy day - don't bother!

Pacific Rim National Park is located between Ucluelet and Tofino. The first of the 'long beaches' from Ucluelet is Wickinninish Beach, but any of the stops along the National Park are worthy to check out.

Ukee - locals term for Ucluelet

Ucluelet is our small little town with lots of heart and places to see. You can walk downtown from our place in about 12 minutes. My favourite spots in town... Coffee: Foggy Bean Coffee Co - small batch roasting Lunch and snacks: -The Break Bistro - delicious sandwiches and baked goods -Yayu Cafe - vegan and GF options Casual Bites: - Ucluelet Brewing - offers craft beer and pub style food. - Heartwood Kitchen - bistro style fare with lots of seafood options Fine Dining: -Pluvio. For one special night out - look no further than Pluvio. Make reservations NOW! Sells out quickly and months ahead. -Current's Restaurant in the BlackRock Resort offers amazing views of the ocean in a hotel atmosphere restaurant. Good food, but view is better. Pizza: -Abondanza- If Abondanza is open, its AMAZING. Wood fired italian style pizza. Once they sell-out they close. CASH only -Shipwreck Pizza - 9/10 when I order pizza, I go with Shipwreck as I know they are open and it's good. Fish and Chips: I get asked often about the best fish and chips..... Jigger's Food Truck - its good and usually a bit of a wait in the summer. For about the same price, if you want to have a nice view and a seat - Current's restaurant at the Blackrock have fish and chips on their menu and it is a bit more elevated than the food truck. Both are good!
