The extraordinary West Coast Trail is found not far from Ucluelet. Bamfield is home to the northern trailhead to this wonderful trail known for its 80 foot ladders, stunning beaches and regular encounters with shipwrecks from the Graveyard of the Pacific.
Mount Tolmie is another beautiful, easily accessed mountain in Victoria with 360 degree ocean and city views. On a clear day you can spot Mount Baker far off in the distance in the US. There are some short trails, several picnic tables with million dollar views, and a huge, flat topped water reservoir to walk on. The trails are very short and the park is almost entirely visited by car.
Few places in Victoria offer such an effortless access to such a gorgeous vantage point over this beautiful city. Mount Tolmie's location, beside the University of Victoria and not far from Beach Drive, make it an essential stop on any driving or biking tour along the coast. This gorgeous coastal driving/biking route around Victoria effectively begins at the Inner Harbour if you drive along Belleville St past the Parliament Buildings to Dallas Road. At Dallas Road you can follow the southern tip of Vancouver Island for several kilometres. Continuing along the oceanfront route on Dallas Road you will pass through Beacon Hill Park on your left(ocean on your right). Dallas Road follows the coast for a couple more kilometres then connects with Beach Drive. Beach Drive continues with almost constant ocean views and through upscale neighbourhoods before ending near Mount Tolmie and the University of Victoria. You can then retrace your route to the Inner Harbour, or take a short cut through UVic, or continue along the east coast of the island, though the ocean views are limited to the occasional parks along.
