Tofino, Beaches & Swimming

TripAdvisor awards Tofino "Best Beach in Canada" in their 2011 Readers' Choice Awards! In fact, BC beaches swept the awards: Tofino, Okanagan Valley and Parksville took the top three spots.
I visited Tofino in April and took this photo at Cox Bay, a beach noted for surfing, sunsets and oceanfront resorts. Other favourite beaches in the Tofino area include Long, Chesterman, and MacKenzie.
If you're travelling on Vancouver Island this summer, a trip to the west coast is must!
