Living in Bamfield offers rugged coastal scenery, a close-knit community, and access to some of the Pacific Rim’s most unspoiled wilderness. Known for the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre and as the trailhead for the West Coast Trail, the village attracts researchers, adventurers, and residents who value remote living. Housing is limited and includes cottages, waterfront cabins, and rural properties. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I track actual market value and market movement so you can see what housing and daily life in Bamfield are really like.
