This was not on anyone's list

Do some searching on the web reveals quite a bit about it.

Honestly while Tofino is nice the town of Ucluelet is the hidden gem if you are recommending people to visit and stay, there are great cabins and you are well situated for the beaches etc.

One of the local landmarks will be leaving, so they say.

The local resort group has a ship moored as a floating lodge and base for fishing charters.

Although currently called the Canadian Princess she has a military past

The drive to Tofino up and over the mountain and down to the sea was very fun and enjoyable, the old growth forest was educational also.

Ha, Ha, That's what happens to easterners who come for a visit and never leave. Half of my neighbours are from Alberta and Saskatchewan and the rest are refugees from big cities like Vancouver and Toronto. The lack of lots of snow and real winter are definitely an attraction.

Hope you got into some better weather and can enjoy some of the stuff that this area has to offer. A week of heavy rain would be a disappointment any time of the year. But on a sunny day, a walk along Victoria's Dallas Road waterfront will make up for most of it.

Enjoy the rest of your stay....
