TOFINO, B.C. Sure, there are five-star resorts on the hauntingly beautiful west coast of Vancouver Island. But you don't have to blow a bundle to enjoy the same beachfront location near renowned Long Beach and picturesque Tofino.
At the Pacific Sands Beach Resort, owned and operated by the Pettinger family for 30 years, you get delightful accommodations at a price that's easy on the wallet, too.
