Ucluelet Harbour Lights by Gail Bridger
These are the lights of the marina in the quaint little village of Ucluelet, BC. Ucluelet is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. We were only there for a short weekend stay but was quite impressed what the area had to offer. Long Beach and Tofino was as equally beautiful, lots of tourist and things to do. Great resorts and very friendly atmosphere. Loved our stay and hope to return again soon, hopefully in the summer coming! I also would like to mention a thank you to the owner of our workplace in Port Hardy for giving us this great getaway weekend, for doing a good job at our jobs!! :) / /
