Ucluelet is a district municipality on the Ucluelet Peninsula on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Ucluelet (pronounced you-KLEW-let) is a local First Nations word meaning “safe harbour” in the indigenous Nuu-chah-nulth language
Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of First Nations for at least 4300 years.
The town of Ucluelet offers beaches, waterfront promenades, restaurants, unique shops and galleries, a mini aquarium and a range of accommodation choices. The motto of Ucluelet is “Living on the Edge” due in part to its location on a peninsula surrounded by water. This marine influence permeates Ucluelet from the climate, to events such as the Pacific Rim Whale Festival, to the design of buildings, which are uniquely West Coast.
Ucluelet provides easy water access to Barkley Sound and has a spectacular marine area that features the Broken Group Islands Unit of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
Ucluelet’s Small Craft Harbour is the west coast’s most comprehensive marine facility. Their Small Craft Harbour is a classic example of a true working harbour, situated on the outskirts of Barkley Sound. It is a destination in its own right. The facility has 20 amp service, fresh water, a maximum draft of 12 feet and is within walking distance of the village center.
