Tofino is like the more affluent yet older sister of Ucluelet. It is larger, more established, has more amenities, and has better (?) accommodations so it is a little bit more suitable for travelers who may want to hang on to some of their creature comforts. If Ucluelet is vibrantly young and ruggedly beautiful, Tofino's beauty is more of the polished and refined sort that comes with age.
A small colony of house boats right across the marina.
Talk about recycling... rather than scrapping this old fishing boat, it ended up into a charming little house on this little island.
The Marina.
An old character home transformed into an artisanal bakery and cafe.
And perhaps Tofino's most prized jewel... SoBo (short for Sophisticated Bohemian) a restaurant that makes the best key lime pie, corn bread and smoked salmon chowder on Earth!
A little slice of heaven... what I wouldn't give for a bite of that right now.
My picture does not do it justice but this is perhaps the best chowder on Earth.
