About Tofino

Tofino is Canada’s premier surfing destination, defined by expansive sandy shores backed by rainforest, including Cox Bay, Chesterman Beach, Long Beach, and the iconic Chesterman Beach Sandspit. Surfers flock to Cox Bay and Long Beach for world-class beach breaks, while storm watchers, beachcombers, and driftwood collectors roam the wide shorelines year-round. Low tide uncovers rich intertidal zone life along rocky headlands, while exposing massive stretches of hard-packed sand ideal for walking and fat-biking. Tracking tide tables is critical here: a low tide opens access to walk across the exposed sandspit to Frank Island at Chesterman Beach, whereas rising high tides submerge the spit, trap unwary walkers, and push heavy surf directly against beach bluffs, altering wave shapes across all major surf spots.
