Approximately 480 km north of Vancouver, 170 km northeast of Port Hardy and 88 km west of Bella Coola. Ocean Falls is perched beside the deep waters of Cousins Inlet, 24 km from the open Pacific.

Looking east, Mt Caro Marion is in the center.

Our community of 35 fulltime residents and 100 addtional seasonal residents is divided into two neighbourhoods. Ocean Falls Townsite is on the right and Martin Valley is on the left. The road between them is approximately 1.5 km. You can just see a bit of water above the townsite, this is Link Lake which is 19km long and has great fresh water fishing. There is a hydroelectric dam and waterfall just above the townsite.

The Townsite... Many of the larger buildings including the 400 room Martin Inn are derelict.

The 'Ways' building is being restored by Herb Carpenter, his wife Lena operates a Gift Shop in one corner.
