Ginnard Point (49˚08'00" 125˚51'00" SW side of Meares I, SE of Tofino, Clayoquot Sd, W side of Vancouver I). A French settler named Ginnard is believed to have built a home on the point in the 1880s. Nearby Ginnard Ck, Tofino’s backup water source, is named for the same person. The feature is known locally as Spittle Point or Spittle’s Point after Bill Spittle, who squatted there in the 1910s and ’20s with his dog, Joe Beef.
