Chesterman Beach

The Wickaninnish Inn is located at the north end of Chesterman Beach, one of the finest beaches on the west coast of Canada. A mile and a half (2.4 km) of beautifully packed sand stretches south of the rocky headlands that are the Inn's majestic setting.

The pounding surf makes this beach a favorite with beachcombers, surfers and kayakers alike. A picnic in the dunes, a romantic stroll in time for sunset or a night under the star-filled skies of Clayoquot Sound - Chesterman Beach is an unforgettable experience.

Bald eagles and ospreys can often be seen circling the beach with many species of migratory shorebirds also using Chesterman Beach as a resting place during their travels. Tours by some of the naturalists that live in the area can turn a walk on the beach into an amazing educational experience. Contact our Guest Service Representatives to book one of these tours in advance, to ensure that your preferred time and day is confirmed.

Enjoy a front row view of Chesterman Beach at the Pointe Restaurant: Enjoy a satisfying breakfast with the rising sun, a light lunch with views of 20 foot breakers or join the many that have declared the Pointe their favorite place for sunsets in Tofino, or perhaps anywhere.
