Port Renfrew Vacation Guide

Port Renfrew is a town on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, located approximately 2 hours drive west of Victoria, British Columbia at 48°33′31″N, 124°23′57″W.

Port Renfrew is the western terminus of the Juan de Fuca Trail.

Port Renfrew is also the southern end of the West Coast Trail, a world famous hiking trail built in 1907 along the west coast of Vancouver Island to save ship wrecked sailors.

Originally named Port San Juan, the settlers changed the name to honor Lord Renfrew who planned to settle crofters here. The name was changed due to mail being sent to the San Juan Islands instead of Port San Juan. Like many coastal Vancouver Island communities, Port Renfrew has a rich history in forestry and fishing. In recent years, Port Renfrew has become increasingly reliant on tourism; local natural attractions include the West Coast Trail, Juan de Fuca Trail and Botanical Beach. Port Renfrew is considered some of the best salmon and halibut fishing in North America. There is also excellent Kayaking and Birding.

Schon um sieben Uhr morgens bin ich aufgewacht, obwohl es nur 5 Grad hatte, war mir nicht kalt - die zwei Decken waren dick genug. Kalt war es erst, nachdem ich mich umgezogen habe, deswegen bin ich auch gleich losgefahren. Mein Ziel war das Zentrum von Victoria. Heute war Sonntag und es war noch r…
