Bamfield is a small community inhabited by roughly 200 locals, mostly marine biologists. Crown Land, Indian Reserves, and fractions of Pacific Rim National Park skirt this little hamlet. Nestled on the south shore of Barkley Sound, this village prides itself as an excellent hub for salmon fishing opportunities. Besides fishing, you can enjoy loads of outdoor activities here including kayaking, canoeing, diving, paddle boarding, and hiking.
The quaint region is split into two areas by an inlet, and the only possible transfer is a water taxi. The eastern region is the vibrant side of the community, comprised of commercial businesses such as restaurants, equipment rental outlets, and tackle shops. Meanwhile, residences and piers spread out on the waterfront boardwalk in the western part. Bamfield is packed with waterfront fishing pods to accommodate expert anglers and fishing enthusiasts. Here is a rundown of the best fishing lodges in Bamfield, Canada.
1. Homesteader Cottage (from USD 272)
This private cottage in Woods End Landing Cottages guarantees maximum seclusion and tranquility for guests. It sits atop an 8-acre (3-hectare) waterfront ground and boasts a 150-foot-long (46-meter-long) dock. A descending pathway leads you to the dock which makes an idyllic spot for fishing enthusiasts to unwind. There’s a cleaning station at the dock for you to take care of your catches. You can also enjoy paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking aside from fishing.
You’ll love the home’s charming interior adorned with rustic wood details and warm decors. There’s a shared outdoor covered fire pit and barbecue site, where you can mingle with other guests while feasting on freshly caught fish.
Pets are welcome here, and the on-site grassy landscaped area serves as a playground for them.
