West of the West Coast: A Shirley Sanctuary
Ocean Wilderness Inn is an intentional space to reset and unwind. Located in Shirley, BC, just 14km from Sooke, we are the quiet heart of the Pacific Marine Circle Route. For 40 years, we’ve been the home base for travelers exploring Mystic, China, and Sombrio beaches, the Sheringham Lighthouse, and the wild tide pools of Botanical Beach. Come for the artisan breakfast; stay for the peace of the Vancouver Island coast.
Space to Reset
Experience the rare luxury of true quiet. Tucked away where the coastal forest meets the sea, our boutique inn provides a private refuge where the only sounds are the towering cedars and the rhythmic pulse of the Pacific surf.
Curated Design
For 40 years, we’ve paired refined comforts with the rugged soul of the West Coast. From house-made artisan treats to premium linens, we’ve created the perfect place to settle in after a day of exploring the Juan de Fuca trail or the surf at Sombrio.
Unwind by the Ocean
Gaze across the Juan de Fuca Strait toward the Olympic Mountains. Our vantage point offers a front-row seat to soaring eagles, seasonal whale migrations, and the iconic mist of the Salish Sea.
Coastal Heritage
After a day exploring Mystic or Sombrio beach, retreat to a space that reflects forty years of hospitality. Our inn is a Shirley landmark, offering a seasoned, professional experience rooted in the rugged beauty of the West Coast.
The Little Things, Done Well
We believe the soul of a stay is in the details. From our house-made artisan breakfasts to our signature use of Seaflora Skincare, we curate every element to reflect our wild surroundings. Each suite features these wild-harvested coastal botanicals, paired with the seasoned hospitality that defines our property.
The Art of the Slow Down
Sink into the stillness of our forest hammocks. Tucked among towering cedars, this is your front-row seat to the Shirley coast. It’s the perfect place to breathe in the salt air and truly unwind after a day of exploring.
