Bella Bella

 

The island village of Bella Bella is three kilometres north of McLoughlin Bay, where BC Ferries' Queen of Chilliwack docks. It is home to the Heiltsuk Native Band, and is the largest community on the Central Coast with a population of 1,400. Although it was the former site of the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort McLoughlin in the 1830s, nothing remains of the fort today.
