Long Beach Lodge Resort Surf Club Adventure Centre

Long Beach Lodge Resort's Surf Club Adventure Centre provides a great opportunity for all ages to learn how to surfing.

On the beach and in the surf at Cox Bay, Long Beach Lodge Resort's Surf Club expert instructors teach ocean awareness, equipment use, water safety, surf techniques and surf etiquette.

Long Beach Lodge Resort's Surf Club Adventure Centre is a one-of-a-kind facility and the first of its type in Canada.

The spa-like facility is open during the day to all visitors to the Tofino area who wish to experience the professional, customized surf instruction of the Resort's Surf Club. Come in to shop, rent equipment, enjoy a latte, get a surf forecast or arrange lessons. During the evening, Resort guests have exclusive access to the outdoor hot tub, sauna, showers and change rooms.

Surf Lessons for everyone: Private, custom and group

The Surf Club Adventure Centre offers private customized 2.5 hour lessons. The student decides the pace and level of instruction. Individuals and groups are also free to decide the number of people in the class (maximum of five per instructor for ages 13+).However, arrangements can be made for larger groups. As well, during the summer, a 2.5 hour "Open Session" runs daily at 6:00 pm for anyone interested in meeting new people and sharing the same great experience.

The Surf Club takes the hassle out of surfing – no need to haul boards and sandy wetsuits around. Just get fitted with the right equipment; get into the water; learn to surf; have fun!

Long Beach Lodge is “the lodge that surfs.”

Come share the ocean with us.

"Tophotel op toplokatie"

Prachtige kamer 205 met terras en zeezicht. Prima bed, ruime badkamer, kleine douche. Erg vriendelijke staff zowel receptie als restaurant. Uitstekend gedineerd voor correcte prijzen. Betaalparking. Schitterend strand en machtige zonsondergang "Amazing place and perfect location"

We had wonderful time at the resort, service was perfect and friendly, the hotel is very well equipped, along a nice beach, close by car to the city, and beds are extremely comfortable "One of the best “experience” hotels we’ve stayed in"

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.
