Nuu-chah-nulth Trail Wooden Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Nuu-chah-nulth Trail to Florencia Bay leads, with few interruptions, on wooden boardwalks across Quisitis Point Headlands, a humid plateau, and down to the coast. The boardwalk is said to be the longest trail of its kind in the national park. Due to the humidity, there are no old cedars or hemlocks here. Only further down, above the rocky coast, do we find tall trees. There, we walk along a soft, springy path through this fairytale forest. (May 18, 2025)

South Beach, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve

Highlight • Beach

The South Beach Trail begins at the parking lot at the Kwisitis Visitor Centre and runs past the former Kwisitis Village at Lismer Beach. After a short climb to a low ridge, where the junction with the Nuu-chah-nulth Trail is located, the trail descends along a long wooden staircase through a Sitka spruce forest to the beach.
The beach is dotted with small pebbles. It is located in a bay with offshore rock formations, where the surf crashes and the waves reach the shore. Some rocks are covered with countless mussels.

Lismer Beach

Highlight • Beach

Lismer Beach is located south of Wickaninnish Beach in a small, sheltered cove on the South Beach Trail, or Nuu-chah-nulth Trail. Until the 1970s, a Kwisitis village was located near the beach.
The pebble beach is named after the painter Arthur Lismer. In the 1950s and 1960s, he visited the Long Beach area for several weeks each year. Lismer's paintings often depict small sections of the fantastic beach landscape.

K'isit'is Village (Traditional Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Territory)

Highlight • Historical Site

Until the 1970s, a Kwisitis village was located near Lismer Beach. When the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve was created, the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ (First Nation) village was vacated. However, the demarcated area continues to be used for fish harvesting and ceremonies.

Kwisitis Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

The Kwisitis Visitor Centre was built on a massive rock at the southern end of Wickaninnish Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. In the Nuu-chah-nulth language, the name means "the other end of the beach." The building was constructed between 1963 and 1965 and expanded between 1978 and 1982. It is a protected historic building due to its historical significance and architecture.
With the entrance ticket to the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (CAD $22 per day and family), we can park the RV and access the exhibits in the Visitor Centre.

Shorepine Bog Trail (Pacific Rim National Park Reserve – Long Beach Unit)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The 0.8-kilometer Bog Trail consists entirely of boardwalks and is a very family-friendly loop hike, accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. The bog itself is a unique ecosystem within Pacific Rim National Park, as few plant species can survive in the acidic soil found here. One of the best-known types of vegetation that thrives in this bog is sphagnum moss, which covers most of the surface and can be one to two meters thick—and up to 400 years old. The only tree species that can survive the lack of nutrients and minerals in this unique area of Vancouver Island is the shore pine. Here you'll find shore pine trees growing in a variety of interesting and irregular shapes.
