Review & FAQ:

Pachena Bay is a peaceful, secluded beach located at one of the entry points to the West Coast Trail, where the Pachena River spills into the ocean. The beach is located next to the Huu-ay-aht First Nations community of Anacla and is surrounded by magnificent virgin old-growth rainforest. The vast expanses of sand are great for long walks, beachcombing, and birdwatching. Its pristine, wild, and spectacularly beautiful location attracts people who like to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of nature far from the crowds. There is a well-equipped but rustic campground with direct access to the beach.
