Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

The one-time hippie heaven that’s earned its reputation as a rough-and-tumble frontier town is Vancouver Island’s most epic outdoorsy retreat. Sitting on Clayoquot Sound – the network of offshore islands made up of forests, rivers, lakes alpine valleys and laidback beach towns – it’s a perennial crowdpleaser for shutterbugs. And the camping, hiking, bear-watching, fishing, kayaking, whale watching and First Nations cultural touring isn’t bad either. Most rewarding for camera buffs are the 22 miles of easy-to-access sandy beaches and ever-dramatic waves that have been luring surfers ever since the beach-dwelling subculture emerged here in the late 1960’s. Nowadays, this so-called ‘Best Surf Town in North America’ is awash with surf schools and rental shops to satisfy the thousands that head here every year; from seasoned pros and newbies braving the ocean waters to those just looking to snap away at the boarding action.

Get the shot: Any view that encompasses Tofino’s rugged and pristine wilderness. Chesterman Beach, Cox Bay and Long Beach are all perfect for documenting life on the coast and capturing the town’s supercool surf scene.
