Amphitrite Point Lighthouse
A red-and-white lighthouse at the southern tip of Ucluelet, a landmark on the Wild Pacific Trail lighthouse loop.
Built in 1915, the lighthouse replaced an earlier wooden tower that was destroyed by a tsunami-like giant wave before 1914. It is now a concrete structure still used by the Canadian Coast Guard and is not open to the public inside. The reef platform in front of the lighthouse is a great spot to watch sunsets, waves and, occasionally, whales spouting. There is a small parking lot, and entry is free. It's a 5-minute drive from downtown Ucluelet, or about 30 minutes on foot.
