This dramatically located building is perched over a sandy, rock-fringed beach. Inside you'll find displays on the region's rugged topography and wildlife as well as exhibits illuminating the First Nations people who have called this region home for centuries. Formerly the Wickaninnish Interpretive Centre, it's located 3.5km off Hwy 4 (you can drive or hike in).
