Tofino is a small coastal community with a resident population of 2000-ish located on the West Side of Vancouver Island in the unceded traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation people. Some people come here as a jumping off point for more adventurous adventures along the coast, or to take in all the beauty of the more protected waters with a whale or bear watch tour around Clayoquot Sound. Perhaps they are living out their surfer fantasy phase of their life (Tofino is home to some very accessible beach breaks) and contrary to the marketing efforts of town over the years Tofino isn’t a Surf Town it’s so much more than that. We have a ruthless food scene here in Tofino. Where is good to eat? Anywhere really. With Restaurant space at such a premium and one wheel-less taco truck feeding people… If you can’t cut it you don’t get to last. But Tofino is more than just Adventure Tours, Dining, Surfing and Beaches… Fishing Charters, Art Galleries, the two Pharmacies, Credit Union, Post Office, Hospital and Community Hall are all downtown or, on the way there. Parking legally can be an issue sometimes once “Tourist Season” starts (May I suggest that you ride TikiBus as an alternative perhaps?)
