The magazine describes the small district on Vancouver Island to have “wildlife tours, forest hiking, and walks along wide sandy beaches [that] reconnect people with nature. Powerful winter storms produce ocean swells, creating epic storm-watching opportunities and a thriving cold-water surfing scene.”
It mentions Tofino Resort + Marina’s new West Coast Floating Sauna, which can only be accessed by boat and offers fishing, free diving, paddleboarding, whale and bear watching.
