About Kyuquot—
it's about more than great sportfishing...

Kyuquot Sound once had thriving fur trading and whaling industries but as demand decreased and populations diminished, locals turned to fishing to make their living. Evidence of the Cachalot whaling station remains today. Fishing has always been a mainstay for the Kyuquot and Checleset first nations who call this area home. Rich in cultural history, the village of Kyuquot today relies on logging, and adventure tourism to stay afloat. Sea otters, although one of Canada's rarest mammals have once again begun to thrive in the area after being reintroduced in the late 60's.
	A quick run to the fishing grounds will guarantee you a sea otter sighting along with the possibility of whales, sea lions, eagles, puffins etc. Paddle by kayak hugging the coastline around the numerous local bays and inlets and the chance to spot a black bear is not uncommon. Beachcombing and hiking around Rugged Point or Brooks Peninsula will offer the chance to explore some of BC's most remote Marine Parks and best beaches.
Kyuquot Beach House, on Walter's Island in the picturesque village of Kyuquot, is linked with a scenic boardwalk and walking trails throughout the island. Kyuquot is equipped with a Red Cross outpost hospital, K-12 school, general store/post office and seasonal restaurant for the approximately 350 full time residents lucky enough to live in this unspoiled paradise!
