Blooming trees and manicured oceanfront grounds at Ocean Wilderness Inn

Perched along Shirley’s rugged West Coast Road (Highway 14), our 5-acre oceanfront estate unfolds into old-growth firs, tranquil gardens, and wide Salish Sea views.

  • Ocean & Wildlife Viewing: Scan the Juan de Fuca Strait for migrating humpbacks, orcas, and sea lions from our cliff-side hot tub, ocean-view suites, or from the beach below.

  • Adult-Focused Getaways: Individual suite bookings are reserved for adults (18+) to maintain a quiet, relaxed atmosphere (all ages welcome for private buyouts).

  • Private Trail to Muir Creek Beach: Follow our woodland hiking trail beneath the cedars down to the driftwood shoreline, tide pools, and fossil-rich sands of Muir Creek Beach.

  • 40 Years of Hospitality: Rooted around our original 1960s log lodge, welcoming travellers to the south coast since 1986.

Eight private oceanfront and forest suites perched high above the Salish Sea, each featuring an independent entrance and en-suite bath.

  • Cliffside Hot Tub: Soak high above the water with majestic views across the Juan de Fuca Strait to the Olympic mountains beyond.

  • Flexible Suite Layouts: King, queen, and twin configurations tailored for couples, travel companions, or full group buyouts.

  • Ocean & Forest Views: Choose between elevated Pacific vistas framed by coastal firs or quiet garden retreats.

  • Unhurried Coastal Days: Enjoy peaceful mornings on the balcony, hike down through the coastal firs to the beach, and recharge at your own pace.
