Yuquot

Yuquot, also known as Friendly Cove, is a small settlement on Nootka Island, off Central Vancouver Island. The quiet today belies its past when it was the thriving summer home to the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations and the point of first European contact in British Columbia. Visitors can learn about the history and take in some of the marvelous scenery in the area.
