A small town at the far end of the Esowista Peninsula on Vancouver Island's west coast, Tofino sits at the edge of Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of old-growth temperate rainforest, marine inlets, and offshore islands. The wide surf beaches at Long Beach and Chesterman Beach attract surfers year-round, while winter storms drive significant wave activity visible from protected dune viewpoints.
