ABOUT KYUQUOT
In the early 1900s, Kyuquot was home to 2 fish canneries, a whaling station and hundreds of settlers living along the inlets. Today we have a population of around 200 people (although the numbers do go up in the summer months). 95% of the residents are of native descent.
Kyuquot has a school that goes to grade 12 with approximately 60 kids and 5 teachers. Our village has a hotel, a hostel (both with Wi-Fi), as well as several B&Bs that are open all year round.
Kyuquot Sound is also home to a growing sea otter population. There are over 2,500 sea otters in Kyuquot. These transplants from Alaska remain a popular tourist attraction in the area. We have a raft of about 200 otters just a 5-minute boat ride away.
