The Wickaninnish Inn story begins way back in 1955, and is closely tied to the modern-day history of Tofino and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and of course to the popular draw of Tofino winter storm watching.

Architecturally, the Inn has succeeded in defining an archetypal North West Coast style, utilizing the natural elements of cedar, fir, driftwood, and stone, together with expansive windows inviting the awe-inspiring ocean vistas.
The Inn truly embodies its commitment to Rustic Elegance on Nature's Edge.
The Wickaninnish Inn is situated on the westernmost point of residential Chesterman Beach; the two buildings, 'At-the-Pointe' and 'On-the-Beach' have been designed to complement each other and the natural, peaceful beauty of their surroundings.

Step out onto your balcony, breathe in the fresh salt air, listen to the waves crash onto the shore below and you'll know you've arrived on Nature's Edge, in Tofino BC.
Pets are also welcome to reserve (limited availability, please reserve by phone).
