Ocean Falls is a never-say-die community at the head of Cousins Inlet, north side of Dean Channel near its mouth. In addition to providing most services, it is worth visiting to learn a piece of BC’s coastal history. At one time, 3500 people lived here, supported by a pulp mill. Now, its buildings have been re-purposed and mariners are welcomed. The residents have been thoughtful enough to provide a free wi-fi hotspot at the dock. Fishing charters, site seeing and hikes provide good cause to refresh afterwards with new friends at the pub.
