Welcome to Tofino, BC

Ranked #104,002 in Travel & Places, #1,524,609 overall

Tofino was named after a Spanish mathematician and scientist, Jefe de Escuadra Tofino, who died in 1795. It is located at the tip of the Esowista Peninsula, and is thus a part of Clayoquot Sound. Islands in the vicinity include Meares, Vargas and Flores. It and nearby Ucluelet are the closest towns to the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

A popular tourist destination in the summer, Tofino's population swells to many times its winter size. It attracts surfers,
nature lovers, campers, whale watchers, or anyone just looking to be
close to nature. In the winter it is not as busy, however, many people
visit Tofino and the west coast to watch storms on the water.

Close to Tofino is a scenic and popular year-round destination, Long Beach at the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
