Situated on the wild and rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, the award winning Black Rock Oceanfront Resort takes a bit of getting to from the Seattle area. A roughly 8 hour drive from Seattle, or a not-inexpensive flight into Victoria, coupled with a 4 hour drive, exploring Ucluelet requires a commitment. (You can fly from Seattle to Victoria and then take a puddle jumper to Tofino, but it does get pricey.) From Bainbridge Island, a more appealing alternative is the 90 minute car ferry from Port Angeles on Black Ball ferry. From there, the drive is still 4 hours as you have to go north and across the island to access the West Coast. With a car, it is easy to combine a trip to Uclulet along with a stop in Tofino at one of my favorites: The Wickaninnish Inn. (As long as you're there....why not ?)
