This stock photo includes the Wickaninnish Interpretive Centre and driftwood strewn along Wickaninnish Beach at Wickaninnish Bay in Pacific Rim National Park, Long Beach Unit, Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, West Coast, Pacific Ocean, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The background shows a few silhouetted mountains with blue sky that is streaked with clouds. The long circular stretch of beach and the Interpretive Centre are in bright sunshine, but the driftwood that fills the lower half of this scene is in shadow. The Interpretive Center acts as a museum, exhibition and information center for the park itself. There are regular films exploring various aspects of the park, the wildlife and the region. Among the exhibits are First Nations canoes, tools and various works of art. The Wickaninnish Interpretive Center also has a small gift shop and a restaurant facing the beach front with panoramic views over the ocean. A 1km walk heads south from the center to South Beach, and the longer Nuu-chah-nulth Trail leads through the temperate rain forest to Florencia Bay.
