The Lighthouse Loop is a stunning section of the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, British Columbia, offering breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the open Pacific Ocean. This 2.6-kilometer loop winds through windswept forests and rocky bluffs, leading to the historic Amphitrite Lighthouse, which has guided mariners since 1915. Doing the full round takes 45 to 60 minutes. The loop is easy to do, sometimes there is some inclination but everywhere you’ll find benches to sit down and relax.
Along the way, visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas, crashing waves, and frequent wildlife sightings, including bald eagles, sea lions, and even whales during migration seasons. The well-maintained trail is accessible year-round and provides an unforgettable West Coast experience, whether you’re storm watching in winter or enjoying a sunset in the summer. You can find the car park in the center of the loop and there you can select in which direction to start.
