Introducing Tofino & Around
Transforming rapidly in recent years from a sleepy hippy hangout into a soft-eco destination town complete with high-end resorts (it’s like the Whistler of Vancouver Island), Tofino is the region’s most popular outdoor hangout. It’s not surprising that surf fans and other visitors keep coming: packed with activities and blessed with stunning beaches, Tofino sits on Clayoquot (clay-kwot) Sound, where forested mounds rise from roiling waves that batter the coastline in a dramatic ongoing spectacle. A short drive south of town, the Visitor Centre (250-725-3414; www.tourismtofino.com; 1426 Pacific Rim Hwy; 10am-6pm May-Sep) has detailed information on area accommodations, hiking trails and hot surf spots.
