Tofino/Ucluelet
Looks like beach break with a couple options, stoked to check it out, anyone been?
Headed to Vancouver Island and just managed to get reservations for 3 nights in mid August, otherwise pretty booked up. We're looking for camping/lodging options for the family. Driving up in the Westy, any recommendations for lodging or camping near surf?

Stay at the Wickaninnish Inn
Great surf right there.
That is why I like dogs, more than most people.

Looks awesome, they're booked solid. Like pretty much everywhere else. I forgot that you have to plan in advance in Tofino... Originally Posted by liv2ski

Sounds like you know enough already. Pretty good fishing right from shore. We stayed at Long Beach Lodge, great place.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America

If you want to explore, you can water taxi to Hot Springs Cove, camping is plenty, hot springs are amazing, and you can stay with the Innchanter. He runs a tight ship.

We ended up scoring reservations on Cox Bay; Pacific Sands for a couple nights and Cox Bay Resort for several nights. This camping trip is turning into lodge based but it's hard to pass up beach side lodging, plus we just gotta get out of FarNorCal, we are surrounded by fire and smoke...

Just got back 2 days ago. Long closeouts. Didn’t get up to Cox, just LB and Flo, but both had “waves” Cox is a shit fight but is a wave magnet w/ strong rip. Long beach and flow have more peelers at this time of year.
long beach for hangs and surf is legit, my recommendation is to pack the westy with your chairs and lunch and get to the incinerator parking lot early!!! for a good beach side spot. Long beach can be walked for miles in either direction from there.
A bag of Dayold goodies from common loaf in tuff for $7.50 is damn good.
Two scoops of gelato in a waffle cone for $5 in ukee.
The restaurants are good but I don’t eat out there enough so can’t make a recommendation, I almost always cook on the beach if the weather works.
Kelp beer from tofino brewing is very tasty.
If you get a chance, the fishing is on right now so chartering would be a good way to see it all, probably a dose of whales as well. Ukee is a good spot for your travel arrangements ie fishing or boat tours.
If you kayak, the broken islands are amazing.

GF and I are going to chill in Tofino for a couple days early April at the tail end of a Whistler trip. We're not surfers (yet) mostly thought it looks like a cool place to hang for a couple days, we're from Maine so the place looks awesome to us.
Looks like beach cruising, eating out and general chillaxing is our agenda.
