Tofino Trip 2012 - Ucuelet

Last year, Jonathan and I stayed in a cabin in Ucuelet at a place called Surfs Inn. I have a couple blog posts from our visit there last April called "A Weekend Getaway" Part 1 and Part 2... if you feel like taking a little journey down our memory lane.

When going back this year we decided that we liked the Surf's Inn a lot and wanted to stay there again. The people who own Surfs Inn are really friendly and the cabins are awesome. The town of Ucuelet is really cute and fun to explore around in... it's a very small town. The only downside to staying there is that its about a half our drive to get to Tofino and the surf spots... but we thought it would be worth it.

We stayed in the Elephant Cottage this time around, we loved it! 

We had our own fireplace. One day, as we were sitting and enjoying the fire, a bear walked right past us through the bushes in behind the fireplace. Needless to say, we stood up and went inside!

We took many walks around Ucuelet... to sightsee, to get ice cream, to go to the playground, to go to the aquarium. The nice thing about a small town is that you can pretty much walk where ever you want to go. Right across the street from Surfs Inn is the Ucuelet marina. We took Edison on many walks down there because he loved looking at the boats, and all the little fishies he could see in the water.
