A pretty sandy beach whose calm shores were used by the First Nations as a canoe beach. There's an interpretive trail that connects the beach to the Wild Pacific Trail and has information on the beach's history and local plants.

The 2.5 km loop that generally follows the rocky headlands along the coast with some spectacular views of the Broken Islands, Terrace Bay/Beach and Amphrite Point Lighthouse. The highlight of this trail is seeing the waves crashing upon the rocks, often creating large splashes. The trail is a little up and down but not steep (no stairs) and is well maintained. The numerous viewpoints on the trail can be good places to spot sea lions, orcas and whales, particularly during the spring migration. There are also parking lots with access to the trail at Amphitrite Lighthouse and He-Tin-Kis Park. There is also a short (400m) loop to walk through a bog on a maintained trail or on wooden planks with explanatory signs about the plants growing there.
First built in 1906, the squat red and white lighthouse has become a Ucluelet landmark. The lighthouse isn't open to visitors but you can walk the trails nearby. Climbing on the rocks is not permitted as the waves can be unpredictable and sweep people off.; In March, 2025 the Amphitrite Point Interpretive Centre opened. It is a perfect spot to watch the power of the waves or take in a gorgeous west coast sunset. Naturalists with the Wild Pacific Trail Society and Raincoast Education Society will be around daily from 9AM to 4PM to chat to visitors and west coasters about wildlife, surf conditions and all the wonders of the coastal rainforest.
