Experience the Region
Tofino and Long Beach are located in one of the world's most spectacular natural environments; a region where ancient rain forests meet vast sandy beaches and the powerful waves of the Pacific Ocean play their rhythms at the foot of the snow-capped mountains of the Strathcona range. The scenery is spectacular no matter what the weather or the time of year. The region is very popular for winter storm as well. Come, relax and be with nature….

One of the most powerful birds in the world, the majestic bald eagle has a strong presence in the region. It is very common to see eagles perched in the trees around the B&B or swooping down into the ocean to retrieve their prey. These creatures really are breath taking to see in action. 
 
Some of the biggest trees in the world are located on Meares Island. This beautiful old-growth forest has been around for thousands of years.
