Cox Bay Beach

We walked up and down the beach several times during our stay. It’s absolutely gorgeous! A few surfers and some big waves during our visit. Lovely sand and epic sunsets. Our resort looked over Cox Bay and it was a treat to stay here during our autumn vacation.

Another amazing beach to explore in Tofino! 🌊 We accessed Cox Bay Beach for free from our accommodation at Surf Grove, which made it super convenient. The beach is absolutely stunning — wide sandy shores, great waves for surfing, and the most peaceful spot to watch the sunset. 🌅 It’s clean, spacious, and not too crowded, perfect for a morning walk or just to unwind. Definitely a must-visit when staying in Tofino!

Best place in Tofino for surf. The waves are good, especially in the fall/winter. It can be crowded in the evening, but it’s worth it to watch the sunset from the water. Internet can be pretty spotty on the beach, so come prepared.

Top three of my favourite tofino beaches. The shore line is beautiful the water and waves always looked so great. Bathrooms were some of the best at the beaches

Broad beach, popular with surfers and walkers alike. When the tide is out there are some good spots for tidepooling and both the north and south ends of the beach. Perhaps best enjoyed from one of the adjoining resorts. Note, no campfires permitted (at least during our visit).

Even if you're not a surfer, Cox Bay Beach is a very beautiful beach just to walk around and enjoy the fresh salty west coast air and watch the surfers, play in the sand, build a fort, etc... It's paid parking and can get pretty full with lots of cars. Worth a stop for sure, not a long walk to the beach.

Never had a visit that was a disappointment rain or shine. Chose the lookout for our last adventure of 2025!

I stumbled into this beach in October and was stunned. A beautiful beach. The most beautiful beach I've ever seen in Canada. 🇨🇦 🍁 Alaric recommends 👐
