As back to school busyness takes over, I can’t help but miss summer holidays. Do you find yourself doing that too? We just got back on Monday from Tofino, a beach town on the Westcoast of Vancouver Island. Surfing, bike riding, beach combing and boat rides on water taxis kept everyone happy.
I would venture a guess and say that this enormous beer (called a “Growler”) from the Tofino Brewing Company was Jason’s favorite discovery of the trip. I am not a fan of beer, but I loved the bottle!
We stayed at Pacific Sands Beach Resort this year, and the boys asked at least once a day whether we could move in! With a view like this, yes, please! It was so beautiful, and kid friendly too! Of course you can’t stay in a place like this without coming home and searching all the property listings, right?! A girl can dream…
PS – I posted about our 2010 trip to Tofino here.

Rosa these are wonderful pictures! You’ve given me that craving to go back for a visit. Haven’t been to Tofino in over 10 years!!!! I know, we’re due. Perhaps the rainy season now that fall is upon us.
I’d ask if I could move in too! I can’t believe I lived on the island for over 10 years and I never made it to Tofino. Must go!
That hotel is incredible! I would have been asking to move in too if I had been there ; )
I went to Tofino for the first time 2 years ago and fell in love. Tried surfing for the first time and did not fall in love. What a great little place. It’s a shame it takes so long to get there even from here.
Looks like you guys had an amazing time! So beautiful!
Gorgeous – you take such great photos. And is that a wee sand dollar?? I love it. 🙂
Thanks Lisa! Yes, it is the tiniest sand dollar I’ve ever seen. So much detail on such a small little thing! 🙂
Gorgeous! All of it right down to the tiny little starfish 🙂
I am always amazed at how beautiful Tofino looks, I hope to get out there one day soon!!
You should, it’s amazing! 🙂 I already miss the salt air and the sound of waves crashing.
So beautiful Rosa! Brian and I stayed at the Black Sands Resort in Ucluelet and loved it. And yes, when we returned home we were looking at property listings for the area too!! LOL!! Love the pic of your boys clad for surfing 🙂
Victoria
