So much more to Vancouver Island than Victoria - Camrose Canadian

It’s a well timed pit stop that allows you to wander around on what feels like a set from the planet Endor on Star Wars: Return of the Jedi or the Lord of the Rings. Tofino is very much a mini-Banff or Jasper but with surf shops and whale watching instead of glacier tours and skiing. While I’m not one for a wet suit — and the rest of the world can thank me for that — I still love the beach. I never really understood the draw of the ocean until my first trip there. The tranquility and sheer beauty is unmatched in Canada. Also, I recommend going to Chesterman Beach over the much more famous Long Beach. Both are close to each other with similar vistas, but Chesterman has smaller crowds. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, check out The Shelter, just on the southern outskirts of Tofino. I’ve never had a bad meal there and you get a great bang for your buck with a menu that focusses on locally sourced ingredients. Further up island from Nanaimo are many more great places to check out, like Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville, Hot Chocolates artisan chocolate shop and bakery in Courtenay and communities like Campbell River and Port Hardy — just take the Old Island Highway as there is much to see along the way that is bypassed on the Inland Island Highway.There’s also close to year-round golfing at majestic courses across the Island. To this point, I haven’t even mentioned the Juan de Fuca Trail which can be hiked in day hikes or over multiple days and will take you from China Beach to Botanical beach up the west coast of the Island. If you’re a hiker, this trail system has got to be near the top of your bucket list — and there are many other amazing trails to seek out on the island as well. Really you can’t go wrong by vacationing on Vancouver Island, just remember there is far more there to see than one city on its southern-most tip. ... http://www.camrosecanadian.com/2017/01/12/so-much-more-to-vancouver-island-than-victoria
