Fall for November in Tofino

Tofino’s Transition from one season to the next brings out the best in our crew at Long Beach Lodge.

 

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, Tofino’s world class hospitality steps up to warm the soul. Many a seasoned visitor consider November to be Tofino’s most magical month of the year. Storm Season begins in earnest as The Pacific Ocean ramps up from her more docile, summertime self. The first of our winter swells begin to collide with our coastline and Mother Nature puts her greatest theatrics on display.

And the best part? You can watch it all from the comfort of the Great Room with a fall-inspired cocktail in one hand and a forkful of our delicious Charred Squid in the other. Yes indeed, the food and drink hit a little different when you’re shielded from the elements, surrounded by family and friends. The coziness is real!


   


Every fall, our culinary team is inspired by the change of seasons. Some of that inspiration is channelled into our Movember Dinner, a collaboration between Great Room chefs Shaun Snelling and Sam Bruyère, and also Toki Doki’s Kei Lowes. “The dinner will be a westcoast take on casual Japanese cuisine,” explains Snelling. Guests will be welcomed with a cocktail, presented with canapés and taken on a journey through five courses that celebrate the change of seasons, our beautiful coastline, and the bounty of the sea. Tickets are $89 per person, with all proceeds going to The Tofino Fire Department and Movember Fundraiser.

Moustaches, in any stage of growth, are highly encouraged.

Later in the month, our little town at the end of the road hosts the Tofino Oyster Fest, an event that “celebrates the abundance and beauty of the sea in and around Tofino.” The festival takes place from November 24th- 26th, culminating with a competition that crowns the fastest Oyster Shucker in town. The weekend truly showcases how proud this community is our seafood.

But November offers so much more than delicious cuisine. There’s still plenty of sunshine between storms, the surf starts sneaking into beaches that have laid dormant through the summer and solitude—should you seek it—is that much easier to come by on our vast, empty beaches.

Of course, all of that is best celebrated with food, drink and the soul-nourishing power of an elevated hospitality experience.

"One of the best “experience” hotels we’ve stayed in"
2024-10-29
We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 14 day road-trip from Ireland and all I can say is that it was absolutely amazing. The staff were all so welcoming, friendly and attentive. We stayed in room 313 which was on the top floor overlooking the beach with a balcony. Truth be told, the hotel was so good we didn’t venture far over the 3 days, instead opting to just “relax” at the hotel walking the beach or sitting outside at the gas fires taking in the ambience and the surfers catching the waves. The food and service in the restaurant was amazing, I would even go so far to say it was the best food we’ve had in a long time at a hotel! If having food at the hotel, make sure you book a table at the restaurant before 6pm and maybe even arrive a little early. They will not reserve the window seats, but to get the best view of the sunset over the pacific - trust me, it’s where you want to be sitting. Cocktails were also very good. If getting a snack during the day you can get it at the Surf Club which is a few steps from the main building. After dinner we just retired to the bedroom with the gas fires going, patio doors open and enjoying a bottle of wine while listening to the waves crash on the beach. We didn’t do breakfast at the hotel any of the mornings as we wanted something “light” opting instead for the delights from the cafe & bakery Tofitian just a few minutes up the road. As an “experience”, it was hands down one of the best hotels I’ve visited in Canada/US. The team should be very proud.

We have been staying at this resort since it opened and it never disappoints. Location is great, rooms are comfortable and the food is very good. The great room has an amazing view and is very relaxing.
"Fall Getaway"

This was our third fall stay at Long Beach Lodge. The ocean view is spectacular, the Great Room is a fantastic dining experience with tasty, creative, reasonably priced food, views of the open Pacific Ocean and friendly staff.
