Welcome to The Dolphin Motel...
... a family run motel with a cozy feel.
Chesterman Beach, Tofino, British Columbia is a favorite for surfing. Whether
you are a seasoned veteran or novice this is the place to be! The Dolphin
Motel is just a few minutes drive or about a five minute walk to Chesterman Beach
with its open Pacific Ocean waves. There are always surfers catching waves near
Frank Island and along the beach and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Chesterman
Beach is just north of Long Beach and is on the border of Pacific Rim National
Park.
Bring your own gear or visit the nearby surf shop. They can cater to your every need and give you lessons and advice about where the waves are. Wetsuits are always worn and in the winter — when the waves are at their biggest — gloves, booties and head coverings are a must. In the summer you can surf you heart out then bask on the warm sand afterwards. Chesterman Beach is also a popular place for kayak surfers.
Summer: In summer the water at Chesterman Beach is warm enough for swimming and you can plan to spend the whole day at the beach. Chesterman Beach is long enough for a good walk and the sand by the water's edge is hard enough for jogging. Strolling the beach, making sand castles, watching the surfers, picnicking, reading or catching up with friends or family are all wonderful ways to take in your time in Tofino. In the evening watch the sunset, then head back to the Dolphin Motel for a BBQ.
Whalewatching is in full swing from March to September. The Dolphin Motel office can provide you with information and brochures. Bird-watching is also an important part of Tofino activities. Resident and transient birds are plentiful including eagles, herons, puffins, hummingbirds, and sandpipers. The Dolphin Motel is also located by a popular waterfowl watching area. During migration times areas of Tofino are full of transient birds as they stop to refuel for their long trips.
Fall, Winter and Early Spring: Fall, winter and early spring are ideal times for West Coast Storm Watching. The winter storm photograph above is of the Lennard Island Lighthouse and taken from Frank Island on Chesterman Beach. Visitors and locals alike bundle up in warm clothes and gather to watch the powerful waves toss and turn in the winter surf. A day watching the wild winter storms really builds an appetite for Tofino's renowned cuisine. Just a few minutes drive from the Dolphin Motel is the village of Tofino where you can take your pick of fine restaurants.
