Fusing past days of commercial fishing and forestry with the culture of surfing, eco-tourism, and Nuu-chah-nulth traditions, Tofino is an eclectic place of contrasts and inspires creativity.
Embrace your inner Tofitian and peruse the independent shops and galleries along Campbell Street and along the water’s edge. Or visit storefronts on your way to and from the beaches for gifts, surf shop branded apparel, weekly market treasures, and rain gear to keep you dry.

Tofino market
Shop for ceramics, fresh-cut flowers, baked goods, local artwork, upcycled finds, and more. Adjacent to the local playground for kid-friendly fun, the market is a great place to mingle, shop, and feel the beat of everyday life in Tofino.
