Bamfield
The community of Bamfield is settled along the south shores of Barkley Sound amidst crown land and aboriginal reserves. Once populated by the Huu-ay-aht of the Nuu-chah-nulth indigenous people it grew into a small fishing village by the 1800s. Amidst the colourful seaside life are several renowned sports fishing lodges that pursue salmon and halibut. Beyond angling, the area is also well known as the northern destination at the end of the 77 km West Coast Trail. This is a diverse and challenging wilderness trek that lures many outdoor adventurers to its wooden walkways, rock-faced ladders and beach campouts every year.
