r/tofino

Hi folks! Planning a Tofino trip and wondering about the differences between all the beaches (it's been 10+ years since I visited last).

We've seen Long Beach, Chesterman, Tonquin, Cox Bay, & Wickaninnish recommended, and aren't sure if we should hit all of them or if some are very similar (and could thus be a skip).

What are the differences between these beaches, and do you have any in particular you'd recommend? Are certain ones best for beachcombing/sunsets/stormwatching/etc?

Thanks in advance!

We are eloping in May 2027 and are looking for accommodation recommendations. We were initially hoping for Black Rock Resort as I love the photos I’ve seen on the rocks there. However, I’ve been recommended a few other places and I’m looking for feedback.

Black Rock vs Pacific Sands Resort, Wickanninish Inn (likely out of our budget) and anywhere else?

Our budget is around 500/night give or take depending on what is offered!

🙏 thanks!
