He-Tin-Kis Beach

Highlight • Beach

He-Tin-Kis Beach is located north of Inspiration Point. Steps lead down to the beach from the Lighthouse Loop.
During our visit on May 16, 2025, the sky was cloudy, and it was raining occasionally. Nevertheless, it's worth walking down to the beach to enjoy the special landscape during low tide. There were also no other walkers around.

The first hike took us past a small lighthouse and the rough sea.

Number 2 was used to demonstrate gigantic cedar trees, which are very typical of the island.

Very nice with many views and views. If you want to get in the mood, first more forest and then the coast, then run the trail in reverse Rtg.

Today it only rains once, occasionally drizzling or there are showers – but it's just about bearable for a walk.
After checking out the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve visitor center and paying the entrance fee – CAD 22 per day – we first drive to Ucluelet, to the trailhead of the Wild Pacific Trail.

The circular route is part of the Wild Pacific Trail. The well-paved paths are suitable for everyone.
We also walked another part of the trail north of the town (Acient Cedars - Artist loops) - also highly recommended 😃!!!
