Tofino

Tofino is not just for surfer dudes! What a beautiful place but, an expensive one.  There are lots of grocery stores, beaches, hiking and camp grounds that can help the pocket book.  Be sure to use them. I was there over the course of a weekend.  We drove in in the sunshine and left in heavy thick fog (we couldn’t even see the water at Long Beach).  Be sure to check the weather before you go because the drive into Tofino is a curvy one. There are daily bus runs with Greyhound and TofinoBus from Victoria. I got out kayaking while there.  We circumnavigated Stubbs Island in Clayoquot sound.  We were lucky that the wind was calm but, the tides were high.  Be cautious.
