Proudly Rated One of the Top Vancouver Island Resorts

Located beachfront in spectacular Cox Bay on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Pacific Sands Beach Resort has been the Tofino accommodation of choice for returning guests for decades. Thanks to guest reviews on Tripadvisor, not only is Pacific Sands Beach Resort #3 of 10 Best Vancouver Island Resorts, it’s also rated the #1 hotel in Tofino.

Nestled in old-growth forests and powered by the melodic sound of the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Sands Beach Resort is the perfect convergence of land, sea, and simple pleasures. We offer a range of beachfront and ocean view accommodations, all steps from Cox Bay, Canada’s #1 surfing beach. From spring/summer whale watching and winter Storm Watching to all-season hiking and beachcombing, there’s so much to explore. The wide range of year-round adventures and activities make Pacific Sands one of the best resorts on Vancouver Island.

Over 50 Years of Community + Connection

In 2023, Pacific Sands Beach Resort celebrated its 50th Anniversary as a Tofino pioneer and Vancouver Island resort landmark. From four original cabins to 122 suites and beach houses, the Resort has certainly changed over the years. The values it was founded on have not.
