Alberni-Clayoquot County stretches from rainforest-lined inlets to sandy Pacific beaches. In Port Alberni, a working waterfront meets creative energy at Harbour Quay and the historic McLean Mill, while nearby trails climb to panoramic valley views. Surfers chase ocean swells in Tofino, and Ucluelet rewards wanderers with tidepools and lighthouse views along the Wild Pacific Trail. The iconic Long Beach and coastal ecosystems of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve anchor weekend adventures and year-round exploration.
Families appreciate access to the School District 70 Pacific Rim, offering strong academics, French immersion, trades pathways, and outdoor learning, plus North Island College’s Port Alberni campus for upskilling and career programs. Community life revolves around arenas, marinas, and lake days at Sproat Lake, with salmon sightings at Stamp River in fall. Healthcare is served by West Coast General Hospital. Despite its wild scenery, the region stays connected: Nanaimo delivers larger-city amenities and ferry and air links a scenic drive away. Explore tide changes, forest trails, and beach sunsets, then return to welcoming neighborhoods and small-town conveniences.
Housing spans character homes near the river, modern ocean-view builds, and forested acreages that put trailheads at your door.
