SPOT ON: Tofino’s Cox Bay (Vancouver Island, Canada)

Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth (at least for me). The impressive nature, wildlife, wild forests and mystic beaches…

The weather can be a little tricky, but you will always find a spot to relax, free your mind, go hiking, kayaking or surfing. The area around Tofino is always good for a little adventure. I fell in love with Vancouver Island (and BC in general) 10 years ago when I was blessed to spent 6 months there.

One of the rather well known surfspots can be found just south of the Tofino centre – Cox Bay (beach break). Waves can get a little higher when there is a good swell (don’t underestimate the current!).
