Some of Vancouver Island’s best-loved beaches don’t show up on tourist maps or travel brochures — and that’s part of what makes them special. These are places woven into the everyday lives of the people who live nearby: early morning swim spots, quiet reading corners, dog-walking trails, or post-work sunset rituals. You’ll find them tucked at the end of unmarked paths, behind neighbourhoods, or known mostly by word of mouth. Beaches like Blue Heron Park in Yellow Point, Air Force Beach in Comox, or quiet stretches along Nanoose Bay aren’t necessarily secret, but they are beloved — and often protected — by those who call them home.
Imagine how nature treats your eyes and ears by the magic of glorious stretches of sands, amazing sunset, aquatic creatures, birds flying above your head, and the sound of ocean waves. The relaxing moments of the landscape or the joy of walking on the beach, hiking the trails, or doing water activities would satisfy any visitor at any age. Chesterman Beach makes your stay in Tofino outstanding with all the attention it gains.
