​WILD COAST CHALETS

Sport fishing was once the biggest draw to Port Renfrew each summer. Fisherman were treated to some of the best salmon and halibut fishing the south island has to offer but widening restrictions have made a big impact. Port Renfrew was a well deserving top 5 finalist for the Ultimate Fishing Town Canada 2011. Trees, trails and beaches are what many are coming for now.

Hiking is major attraction to the area. The 74 km West Coast Trail from Bamfield to Port Renfrew is world renowned and often considered as one of the world's top hiking trails. It was developed in 1907, originally known as the Dominion Lifesaving Trail, and was used to facilitate the survival and rescue of shipwreck survivors. It is part of the Pacific Rim National Park and is open for hikers from May 1 - September 30. The number of trail users is limited and there is a reservation process. Please visit Parks Canada for further information at pc.gc.ca

The 47 km Juan de Fuca Marine Trail from China Beach to Botanical Beach at Port Renfrew has four easily accessible trailheads. It has different difficulty levels depending on the section of the trail and was designed for day or multi day hikes. The trail offers beautiful scenery, an abundance of wildlife and spectacular coastal views. It was created as an enduring reminder of the 1994 Victoria Games through the Commonwealth Nature Legacy.
