Pacific Sands Beach Resort

Hotel overview

Pacific Sands Beach Resort is in a fabulous location at one end of Cox Bay, a sweeping sandy beach ten minutes south of Tofino. The property is set amongst native old-growth forest and offers a range of spacious and comfortable suites, perfect for settling into this area for a few nights. Each suite has a separate bedroom, a comfortable lounge area with a gas fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, and an outdoor patio or deck. All guests have access to the sprawling lawns and gazebo BBQ, and the sound of the nearby surf provides the soundtrack for your stay. The beachfront suites are literally a few steps away from the beach, whilst the lighthouse suites are set a little further back but offer wider views of the bay. The two-bedroom beach houses are perfect for families or couples travelling together, offering total comfort and luxury in a fantastic beachfront location. The property has an onsite surf school, bike rental, a range of beach toys for guests’ use, and a DVD movie library for those cosy nights in. There is an espresso bar in the guest services area, and basic groceries such as milk, eggs, and orange juice can be purchased here as well; however, the shops and restaurants of Tofino are not far away.

Victoria – Ideas for Free Time

Victoria is home to a range of historic and cultural landmarks. The Royal British Columbia Museum is widely regarded as the province’s best museum, featuring natural history exhibits, a recreated early colonial Victoria street scene, and an excellent in-depth exhibit on the culture of the First Nations peoples of Vancouver Island. The Legislature Building and Government House are worth a visit for those interested in the city’s political history, while the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria showcases an impressive collection of both local and international artwork. For outdoor enthusiasts, a wildlife-watching or sightseeing trip is highly recommended. Take a boat or seaplane from the Inner Harbour to explore sweeping ocean vistas and, with luck, spot iconic marine mammals such as whales or seals. The Inner Harbour itself is a vibrant hub, dominated by the grand and historic Fairmont Empress Hotel, surrounded by beautiful gardens and a picturesque walkway along the waterfront. Just around the corner, Fisherman’s Wharf is a colourful and lively spot with floating homes, bustling docks, and kiosks where you can grab an ice cream or coffee while watching the fishing boats unload their catch. A short journey from downtown, Butchart Gardens is a must-visit, especially in the spring and summer when thousands of flowers are in bloom. These vibrant gardens attract a variety of butterflies, bees, and birds, offering a peaceful and colourful escape into nature. Victoria is also home to ‘Mile 0,’ the starting point of the 7,821-kilometre Trans-Canada Highway, which stretches all the way to Newfoundland on Canada’s east coast. While tackling the entire highway may be a dream for another day, getting your photo taken at Mile 0 is a fun way to mark the beginning of this iconic route.
