The 8km Wild Pacific Trail is the vision and initiative of Ucluelet’s “Oyster Jim” Martin in action. Built with funds donated to the Wild Pacific Trail Society in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island.

I recently toured around Pacific Rim National Park with Parks Canada, and the Wild Pacific Trail with an interpretive guide, and they’ve shown me some of the safest, coolest places to storm watch in Ucluelet and Tofino.
