We spent 4 nights in Ucluelet.
A bit of a back story – My sister Sandra and her husband Shane planned a trip from their home in Calgary area to the Kingfisher Resort in the Courtney area in July. We were away in the boat and they went through Vancouver area and stayed one night in our condo in North Vancouver along the way.
When they were travelling Sandra suggested once they were on Vancouver Island they could ride their motorcycles and meet us one day. We laughed. We said that we would not be anywhere accessible from the east side of Vancouver Island.
Our first day in Ucluelet – Sandra sends me a text and says –
She said Google maps said it was 2.5 hours from Kingfisher to Ucluelet. They were looking for a place to ride for the day – and here we were ! Ucluelet. I said — it’s a bit of a windy road. And she said — that’s why we ride motorcycles!
So our first full day in Ucluelet was a lovely visit with my sister Sandra and brother in law Shane.
The second day we took a B.C. transit bus that travels back and forth from Ucluelet to Tofino with a number of stops along the way. Senior rate – $2.00. What a deal !
We got out at the Long Beach stop in the Pacific Rim National Park. For many years we used to come to the Tofino area for Spring Break vacations with the kids. As well as a few November storm watching vacations. And we walked all these beaches – for hours and hours back in the day. The last time we were on this beach was 2007. We brought Jenny the first year we got her.
Jim and I walked the portion of Long Beach to Green Point and back. A total of 10 KMS.
It was an overcast and grey day. But it didn’t rain. We have had years we walked these beaches for hours in our wet gear !
When we used to come during Spring Break there would be very few people on the beaches.
Even with the cool weather there were a lot of people swimming and surfing.
It was a great day ! A wonderful walk. Lots of memories. We have walked many, many hours on all the beaches in Pacific Rim National Park. But it has been over 18 years since we were in these beaches. Good to be back.

Pam,
When I try to comment on the blog, nothing happens.
What a wonderful surprise visit from Sandra and Shane. And days to walk on the beach like old times. You are having a great time, I can tell.
I was away in Saskatchewan this past weekend for 4 days. Had an eventful week last week. Will write about it in the next few days.

wow! You and Sandra are cool sisters- one on motorcycle, the other on a boat. I can only imagine how exhilarating it must be to travel from Comox to Ucluelet to just have lunch with the sister. Kingfisher is a go to place for my two daughter and me and it is close enough but also far enough to get away from Margaret’s twins for a weekend. We always went there in winter, spring or autumn but not in summer. Their spa is incredible and love the oceanfront suites. I am behind reading your blogs as I had a very busy socially attending 2 birthday events and an house guest over BC day long weekend. I am glad you enjoyed Ucluelet.
