Pacific Sands Beach Resort offers deluxe beachfront accommodation.
We've stayed here as a family and also as a special getaway to celebrate as a couple. Both stays were nothing but amazing. I love the attention to detail and added benefits this resort offers (see below for more information). This resort is one of our top picks when choosing accommodations in Tofino.
The Accommodations
Pacific Sands Beach Resort offers deluxe beachfront accommodation on a sought-after beach in Tofino. The resort is great for couples looking for a romantic retreat and families looking for a beach getaway.
Located on beautiful Cox Bay Beach, the accommodations at this resort give you front-row seating to some of the most spectacular West Coast ocean views. The resort offers suites, beach houses, and a 4-bedroom private home.
All of their units come with a fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen. If you feel you are missing a gourmet pantry item, guest services will most likely have it, and they are just a phone call away.
Splurge-Worthy
If you can swing it, stay in a Signature Suite for the private hot tub, looking out over the spectacular view! This is the ultimate beachfront accommodation.
Pet Friendly
The resort is dog-friendly and has a few pet-designated suites. When you register your pet, they’ll receive dog dishes, treats, and a pet towel upon arrival. The resort also offers pet wash stations (after that sandy beach run), waste bags, and disposable containers.
- There is an added one-time fee per pet.
- Limit of two dogs per unit
- Dogs must be leashed at all times, even while on the beach
Where to Eat
Although Pacific Sands has no indoor restaurant, they have a Surfside Grill. Enjoy fresh local seafood and classic beach food (fish and chips, burgers, tacos, etc.) for lunch and dinner daily until 7:00 pm.
If you are there during the winter months, it’s the perfect comfort food for curling up by the fire and watching the storms roll into Cox Bay from the privacy of your room. For the warmer months, there’s an outdoor seating area for you to enjoy.
Need coffee? Coffee is supplied in each room. However, if you want something more gourmet, the new, onsite café (called the Beach Shack) offers fresh-brewed specialty coffee, smoothies, delicious breakfast items, and yummy afternoon snacks.
If you’d like to utilize that fully-equipped kitchen, the front desk carries a wide variety of grocery items. You’ll find everything from the basics (bread, milk, bacon, and eggs) to ready-made favourites like pizza, burritos, ice cream, and even waffles!
Pacific Sands Resort is ideally located and only a short 5-minute drive from the town of Tofino, where you’ll find everything you need.
Resort Tips and Services
Pacific Sands Beach Resort has the most complimentary service we have ever encountered at a hotel.

- Do you want to take surf lessons or learn to paddleboard? Then head to the Surf Shack – the onsite surfboard, paddleboard rental, and lesson centre.
- Complimentary yoga classes on the beach happen every Saturday morning (10:00 – 11:00 am). Guests must pre-register at Guest Services.
- From May through October, the resort has bikes for rent for both adults and children. Helmets, bike locks, and trail maps are included in your rental fee.

In Summary
If you seek the ultimate beachfront accommodation in Tofino, look no further than Pacific Sands Beach Resort. Whether you are hoping to celebrate a special occasion as a couple, looking for a fantastic family getaway, or perhaps a dog-friendly location, this is it!
