The Area
Vancouver Island’s rugged West Coast is uniquely wild and beautiful. The Pacific Ocean crashes on rocky outcrops and washes over miles of sandy beaches. Magnificent groves of old growth Cedar and Sitka Spruce stand tall over quiet rainforest trails. Long Beach Lodge Resort is literally steps from the open Pacific Ocean and Cox Bay beach. This beach is recognized as one of the finest on the West Coast. |

The West Coast of Vancouver Island is a paradise for those who love the sea. Whether you like to be in or on the water, or prefer beachcombing and storm watching, you won’t find a better place to escape the stress and responsibility of everyday life.
Surfers come from all over the world to ride huge breakers onto miles of empty beach. Canoers and kayakers have a choice of exploring the sheltered bays or open coastline and islands beyond. Colonies of Sea Lions sun themselves on the rocks as Killer Whales view them with interest. To the delight of whale watchers, thousands of Grey Whales pass by on their long annual migration from Mexico to Alaska, with a population staying in the area until late fall for the trip back to Baja.
The Tofino area has become a year-round destination for those who revel in unspoiled wilderness. Seek out wildlife or adventure on your own or with one of the many experienced guides in the area.
There is so much to do, so many ways to enjoy this paradise... walk along endless stretches of deserted beach, hike rainforest trails, view wildlife up-close, fish, surf, sea kayak or simply sit, relax, watch and wonder at it all!
