Big Beach is the larger beach of Ucluelet, BC in the Pacific Rim region of British Columbia. A destination park with a sandy, pebbled beach piled high in driftwood logs with rock outcroppings for exploring tidal pools and elevating your views of the vast marine scenery.

All this scenic beauty complimented by the sounds of the ocean waves slapping the coastline with authority, the breeze whistles a tune, sea salt in the air, birds singing from the battered trees and, in the distance, the clip-clop of hiking boats climbing the boardwalk stairs as people laugh and groan as they continue on their adventure exploring the 8 kilometre Wild Pacific Trail.

Big Beach is a very well laid out recreational park located in a large cove amongst storm battered tree cover, carved out rock outcroppings and fronted by a sandy, pebbled beach . The beach enjoys a grassy area with a shelter, picnic tables and pit toilets. The park is one of the main central access points to the Wild Pacific Trail. It was not until 2002 the community created an access trail from Big Beach to the Wild Pacific.

The picnic shelter, the grass area and beach area provides lots of room and the right environment for many to play and explore. People arrive at Big Beach to read a book sitting amongst the driftwood, others come to bird watch, picnic, swim or hike in the summer months. In the winter months they arrive in rain gear and settle in for a few hours of storm watching. Watching nature flex some muscle, tossing logs is an incredible sight.

The Big Beach area is always receiving improvements. To this day there is some construction being dome on the trail. In 2000 the Central Westcoast Forest Society built a 300-metre trail, a covered picnic area, and a toilet facility.

How to get to Big Beach: Follow the Pacific Rim Hwy to Ucluelet. In the community, the Pacific Rim Hwy turns into Peninsula Rd. Continue driving through the village of Ucluelet on Peninsula Rd, pass the school zone until Matterson Drive. Take a right and follow the road until you reach the gravel parking lot.
