Chase & Embrace the Storm

Sure, winter in Tofino may bring short days, dark skies, and seemingly relentless winds. But it also brings an unbelievable freshness to the air, exhilaration to the skin, and impressively wild entertainment for the eyes.

We've had an incredible storm season thus far. The west facing beaches of Cox Bay collect the building swells pushed in from the North Pacific Ocean. Giant waves crash against the rocky shoreline, thrusting bursts of salt water and sea foam into the air to be carried effortlessly down-shore by the sweeping winds.

Every storm is unique and to experience one in person is as though you're treating the senses to a spa day. Ocean water is packed with nutrients and minerals and a visit to the sea can have many physical and mental health benefits. The white noise of crashing waves has been proven to aid with sleep, helping you truly recharge during your holiday!

Rather stay inside? Perched on the high-tide line, our water-view rooms or the Great Room dining hall offers the perfect vantage point for guests who want a dry place to take in the show. There is nothing cozier than basking in the warm glow of the Lodge on a cold day.

Book a sea-side getaway and catch the best in winter storm watching from the comfort of your room or steps from your private rainforest cabin.


*We recommend always using extra caution during storm season. High tides and surging seas pose higher risk for shoreline spectators. Observe and obey local beach warnings and potential closure signs that may be posted at trail heads during high-risk periods.

"Another Great Stay!"
2024-02-28
We've been taking winter breaks in Tofino/Ucluelet for almost 20 years and enjoy the lack of crowds and ability to beach walk & experience some awesome winter storms. Long Beach Lodge makes a great base as we take our 2 labs and book one of the a dog friendly rooms on the ground floor that have walk out to the beach and a great view. This year was no exception with no rain while we were there and 2 days of storm force winds that made for great breaking surf. The room was great as always, staff all excellent and we ate 2 nights in the restaurant enjoying great meals and good beer both nights. An added plus was a new bank of 8 Level2 EV chargers (CCS) by the entrance with complimentary charging for guests, so keeping the car charged for drives to hiking locations and in prep for out return home was totally painless.

We stayed in Cabin 3, my cousins and I and my cat. LBL had thought of everything in stocking the kitchen. The layout with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (heated floor downstairs!), tonnes of living space with fire and a table big enough to do a puzzle, cleanliness, access to a 12 month restaurant (a February must) were fabulous, the beach was endless, sunsets, but THE private HOTTUB was so fun! My cat loved this trip almost as much as we each/ all did. A marvellous 4 day trip with so many memories. Brava LBL!
