Children, Tofino and Long Beach Lodge Resort
Kids and travel to exotic and interesting locales is a great idea.
Do travel and kids mix? We don’t mean trips to amusement parks, water parks and burger and pizza joints, but actual trips of exploration, adventure and inspiration that include wonderful natural environments, unique fascination and beauty. Like Tofino, Long Beach and the Pacific Rim.Tara Cannon thinks they do.
Tara, a former fashion apparel executive, left her career to forge a new livelihood, compiling kid-friendly travel advice, destination suggestions and fantastic travelogues. A recent article from her pint size pilot - survival tips and advice for travel with kids blog investigates what Tofino offers, including a stay at Long Beach Lodge Resort.
“I had been eyeing up Tofino’s Long Beach Lodge Resort on Vancouver Island’s wild and rugged West Coast for quite a while. Our family had fallen head over heels in love with Tofino’s stunning beaches and Day-Glo anemone filled tidal pools on a trip a few years back, and I regularly found myself trying to put together another weekend getaway. When I would peruse through the many hotel and resort options (my perfect Friday night, believe it or not), I couldn’t help but notice that the Long Beach Lodge Resort seemed quite beloved by guests. The fact that it was smack dab in the middle of the stunning Cox Bay (where I had once attempted to surf) and would welcome both kids and dogs with open arms, convinced me that we had to try it.”
Tara makes a compelling case for Long Beach Lodge Resort and Tofino. Through the eyes of her children and days chock-full of adventure and fun, Tara poses – and answers the essential question: “Would we visit the Long Beach Lodge Resort again? In a heartbeat…..although next time we need at least three nights.”
If you are considering a trip to Tofino and Long Beach Lodge Resort, be sure to speak with Resort staff: they have a lot of great suggestions on things to do, including seasonal activities and places to go.
