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.

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.

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.

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.

Wickaninnish Beach

Highlight • Beach

Here we had a special mystical atmosphere due to the morning haze. There are also many bizarre driftwood trunks here.
