A great place to enjoy a meal, only a 15 minute walk on the beach from The Spot. Great ocean views, but don't go there starving, serve time can be lengthy but the view is worth it.

Bring a raincoat and boots
The west coast is well known for its rainfall records and the rainboots will come in handy while walking the shoreline on a cold day.

Don't forget sunscreen!
Although there may be a breeze down at the water you can still get a sunburn, so be sure to lather up before heading out so you won't be mistaken for a lobster the next day.

Hit up South Chesterman/Cox Bay during Low Tide
Personally MY favourite thing to do while in Tofino. Check the tides before hitting the beach and relish in the wonders of the ocean, up close and personal.
Tide times can be found on this handy website:

The Night Sky
Don't forget to look UP before heading to bed. The skies are meticulously clear in Tofino because of its remote location, there is no light pollution to get in the way of the celestial light show that our skies put on every night.
