There are many excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes. You can also enjoy browsing in art galleries and gift shops featuring work by both local and internationally-known artists. Reservations are strongly recommended for accommodations, especially on holiday week-ends. 

Pounding Pacific surf and wide, sandy beaches dominate the western side of the peninsula, while the eastern side is more tranquil and the seascape is dominated by the rainforest splendour of Meares Island. 

Ucluelet is nested in a secure harbour at the south end of the park area. Walking and hiking trails include small beaches with undisturbed wilderness. Hi-Tin-Kis park, provides visitors some of the most spectacular views. 

The Broken Group Island area of Pacific Rim Park is situated south of Ucluelet in the entrance to Barclay Sound. Renowned for its salt water fishing, the area is rich in marine life and breathtaking scenery. Shipwrecks, dating back to the early 1800's and numerous reefs make this area a popular diving location. Sheltered waters attract boaters, canoeists and kayakers.

Ucluelet is also one of the world's best whale watching locations. Many Pacific Gray Whales take up residency in the sheltered bays and each spring and fall the entire population passes by.
