Got there late afternoon and no washrooms. I was sent across to some surf shops where public washrooms were. What I'm curious about is how the surf shop had water yet the visitor center has none. What's up with that? It's ridiculous. The development in Tofino and Ucluelet cannot support the population growth that is occurring here.

That is their reality because of the white man. THINK ABOUT THAT...

I found the staff to be well informed and helpful for finalizing day hike decisions for my girlfriend and I.

Nice place to make a quick stop to grab a parks pass if you've forgotten to pick one up...
