Highway 4 continues until the road splits into two choices, with the northern one heading towards Tofino.Route to Tofino
This stretch heading north takes you through the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
The park is an oasis of surf-swept beaches, coastal rain forest, cultural history and marine life. Dense rain forest hides the road from the beach for most of the journey along a narrowing neck of land that ends at the town of Tofino. At the tip of the Esowista Peninsula, Tofino is a working harbour town.
Tofino's fascinating history is rich in First Nations' culture, early European settlers' stories and the hippie lore of the 1960s.
Tofino has been established as a tourist town for some time with visitors coming for the world-famous beachcombing, storm watching, surfing, kayaking, fishing, whale watching and hot springs. There are also numerous hiking trails, ancient rain forests, bald eagles and black bears (although the bears were not out at the time of our visit!!).
