Amphitrite Point Light House and Coast Guard Station
Amphitrite Point Light House was established as a beckon to vessels in 1906, later hit by a tsunami (tidal wave) in 1914. The tower was rebuilt in 1915 and remains operational today. Visitors may access the grounds, but not the lighthouse itself. Views of the migrating whales during March and April and the storms in the winter are spectacular from Amphitrite Point. The adjacent Coast Guard centre oversees ocean-going traffic.
Address: Entrance to Barkley Sound near Ucluelet BC

Pachena Point Lighthouse
The last original wood lighthouse tower on Canada's west coast, this light is also still maintained by a light keeper. The lighthouse was constructed in 1907 after the wreck of the Valencia, and was first lit in May 1908. The glass lens, 3 m tall, 2.5 m wide and weighing 400 kg was brought by boat around Cape Horn. The 1000-watt bulb puts out four million candlepower and is visible from Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.
