Tofino is a beautifully scenic district on Vancouver Island and Canada’s Westcoast. Sandy beaches with year-round surfing make this another obvious stop. Part of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, Tofino’s top surf spots can be found at Cox Bay and Long Beach. Book your surf rentals onsite. Visit the small town on the peninsula’s tip and its marina harbour for another sweet viewpoint. Skip the IG hike and stay coastal. Tofino is a must
