Workation in Tofino: the essentials
Highway 4 simply ends at Tofino, on the tip of the Esowista Peninsula on Vancouver Island's Pacific side, in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations. About 2,500 people live here year-round, and the summer population is many times that. Surfers head for Cox Bay and Long Beach, kayaks and whale-watching boats go out into Clayoquot Sound, and the town has an unusually good food scene for its size. Housing for longer stays is scarce, particularly in summer. Winter is very wet, which is when storm watching takes over. Tofino/Long Beach Airport is about 12 km away.
