Food scene

This is some of the best cuisine in Tofino in my opinion. Great for a nice night out. Make online reservations as soon as possible. They always have walk-in tables available too but it's less reliable.

Great outdoor eating and drinking space. Local live music in the summer. Love their margaritas! Parking is challenging so best to ride bikes if you have them.

Great pizza and often not as busy as other restaurants in the summer. One tip, the pizza is much better in the restaurant than as take-out.

Hikes, trails and beaches

*Construction on the trail means you need to start at the entrance to Tonquin Beach towards Middle Beach. Or you can walk from industrial to the community hall but the two do not connect right now. * An easy local hike/walk. Start on Industrial or at the community hall. Walk to Tonquin beach or continue on to Middle Beach. I walk this trail at least once a week.

With less swell in the summer time, this beach is good for young children and paddle boarding. Tuck around the corner to the far left to get out of the wind on windy days.
