The perfect place to start our trip back down the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Bamfield is a funky town, split into East and West by Bamfield Inlet, only boats connecting the two. A quick trip up Trevor Channel from Robber’s Passage, the 1st thing that strikes you on entering Bamfield inlet is the beautiful red roofs.
The Boardwalk starts at this dock running along the coast through West Bamfield to the public dock
We anchored at the end of town, enjoying the sun, watching dogs playing, jumping in the water, sea lions thrashing, throwing fish parts, seagulls screaming for their share, sea planes roaring off in close quarters, the Frances Barkley, unloading at the East Bamfield dock, fishing boats coming and going until we finally got going ourselves.
We finally found the boardwalk.
A fence window for plants 
I don’t see no cats
A memory garden for the feral cats and their caretaker 
Moseying along the Boardwalk
We also decided to walk to Brady’s Beach with more fun along the way.
Hollowed log garden 
Dragonfly art 
West Coast Magic Park 
Shy Patrick, an ancient nursemaid tree 
Peaceful rest spot, bird feeders/houses
And finally, long white sand Brady’s Beach with views to the ocean and Trevor Channel from a memorial bench high on a rock.
A place for peaceful meditation
We returned to Arcturos happy, at peace and ready for salmon cakes, grilled vegetables, smashed potatoes with gorganzola, buttermilk dressing drizzled with hot sauce and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, ready for a long trip back down the coast in the early morning.
