Ucluelet, Coastal municipality on Vancouver Island, Canada
Ucluelet extends across 6.49 square kilometers of peninsula land, featuring natural harbors and dense forests along the Pacific coast of British Columbia.
The settlement transformed from a First Nations territory and sealing industry center into an incorporated district municipality in 1952, marking its administrative evolution.
The name derives from the Nuu-chah-nulth language, reflecting the area's indigenous heritage as a protected harbor for maritime communities over 4,300 years.
Visitors can access Ucluelet via Highway 4 or through Tofino-Long Beach Airport, located 22.7 kilometers from the municipal center.
The municipality maintains the Wild Pacific Trail system, connecting the ocean shoreline with forest paths around the Ucluelet Peninsula.
