Tofino

Nestled within the rugged grandeur of British Columbia on the banks of the Pacific Ocean, Tofino has transformed itself into Canada’s unquestioned surf capital. Although the tiny Vancouver Island town has a permanent population of just 2,000, thousands flock here every summer in search of some of the world’s most epic waves. After you’ve finished on the waves for the day, the village itself harbors a legendary surf culture with a wealth of great cafes, restaurants, bars, and lodges at your disposal.
