If hitting the green is your thing, Long Beach Golf Course, situated near its namesake beach, is a 15 minute drive from Tofino. This nine hole, par 36 championship course is visited by wildlife (Earl the black bear was a regular visitor for years) and the narrow fairways are lined with forest. The 18-hole mini-putt makes for a fun family outing, and its full-length driving range offers nine hitting mats. There’s also a pro shop, a restaurant and a loyal local following. Insider tip: The course is situated on a RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) base that served the coast between WW2 and 1957. Check out the old bunker – now staff housing – on the driving range grounds as you perfect that swing.
