Bamfield is a key part of the West Coast experience and it makes an excellent trip from Port Alberni and Sproat Lake.
There are some beautiful beaches, hikes and experiences to be had by all those looking for them.
Brady’s Beach
Brady’s Beach is just a short hike away from West Bamfield and is one of the most beautiful beaches on the West Coast. It is not a difficult trek to get to the beach and well worth the journey. It is recommended to get fuel and to eat before heading down the gravel road into Bamfield and we are happy to host you and help you with your plans.
Discover Kiixen
On Vancouver Island there is only one known traditional first nations village and still has significant standing houses remaining. A national historic site, visitors are encouraged to hike the trail in and take in the culture while enjoying the beautiful scenery and seascapes.
You can also book a Kiixen Tour where you will be guided by guided by Huu-ay-aht Traditional Knowledge Holders on a 4-hour journey through the lush forest and to a stunning protected beach with tidal pool features.
