Boardwalk flowers, Bamfield, B.C.

Bamfield is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, south of Ucluelet across Barkley Sound. You can drive there, but it's long, tricky and dusty - I recommend hopping the Lady Rose at Port Alberni for a very pleasant cruise into Bamfield and either an overnight at one of the small B&Bs, or hang out for an hour or two then come back to Alberni on the same day.

Bamfield boardwalk

A group of Bamfield residents voluntarily maintain a beautiful flower display along the boardwalk on the west side of town.
