Surfing in Tofino on Vancouver Island

What makes Tofino, British Columbia such a unique spot on Vancouver Island is that it's an especially vibrant community that's also really secluded from everything else. A drive from Victoria to Tofino is about 4.5 hours, for example, and the winding road to the western coast of the Island is pretty memorable in its own right.

Tofino is known for surfing, and the town is populated with cool little surf shops, restaurants, and a great local brewery. The vibe here is relaxed for the most part, although in the right conditions the beaches are full of both newbie and seasoned surfers. The scenery really sells the experience. I couldn't think of a more appropriate setting to showcase some of the incredible coastal views found on Vancouver Island. There's something special about Tofino. 

We've all had those days. An upset little surfer.
