Tofino

Tofino is one of the islands most amazing coastal towns to visit. Being in the Pacific Rim National Park, it offers many outdoor activities such as surfing, scuba diving, fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing. It has many restaurants, hotels and motels as well as full service campgrounds and hostels. It is a small town but big on tourism.

One of the best kept secrets of this area is Hot Springs Cove. You do need to fly or boat there, and once at the dock hike up to the hot springs but the wait and view is worth it! Caution very HOT water!

Another great place to make sure you visit is Schooner Cover. Its a gorgeous trail down to a beautiful beach. Then head up the hill to Radar Hill. Now dismantled, it was originally built in the 50's to warn against Soviet bombs. Now its home to the most breathtaking panoramic views I have ever seen.

Tofino is a great place for all. Please be cautious around the water as there are frequent strong under currents. Here are a few links for more information on Tofino BC:
