The surfing capital of Canada

"Wake up with first light, press yourself a coffee, pack up and check the beaches for the best surf. The Shoreline is the perfect jump-off point for your Tofino surf trip. There are a variety of breaks to explore and no matter the swell you'll find sweet waves. Apres surf; hit the sauna, outdoor shower, and enjoy the sunset from the deck."

— Bridget Reichert, The Shoreline Tofino

Tofino, Canada's Surf Capital, offers year-round surfing on 22 miles of sandy beaches with world-class waves. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, Tofino has a thriving surfing community. Water temperature stays cool (10C/50F), so wetsuits are a must.

Spring (Mar-May): Larger NW swells and southern swells, perfect for intermediates.
Summer (Jun-Aug): Sunshine, smaller waves, ideal for beginners. Busier but not crowded.
Fall (Sep-Nov): Best season with 10+ ft swells, warm water, offshore winds. Surf events held.
Winter (Dec-Mar): Gets really big. Can include wild 20-30 ft waves, offshore winds, uncrowded lineups. Best for seasoned surfers.

The lodge

With our modern surf shack cool, the comforts of home, and thoughtful touches we offer an inspiring yet laid-back feel. We are a boutique oceanfront resort in the heart of Tofino, nestled between old-growth cedars, hanging on the edge of the shore. Originally built in the late 1960's our property and its architecture are the definition of cabin vibes. A rich natural landscape surrounds the property which consists of an A-frame house and two A-frame cabins.

If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton, this is not your place. But if you are looking for a cozy intimate cabin on the bay with views of the mountains and water when you wake up. This is where you want to be.

Our mantra? "Wake up here." Seriously … waking at the Shoreline just feels better. It’s like waking up with a new calm, clear perspective. It’s a beautiful feeling.

A couple of like-minded dreamers and best friends came together on this project in 2017. We all grew up in Canada - central and east - but we have all visited Tofino and fell in love separately. The Hawaii of Canada! It attracts a certain type of person...

We all love to travel and explore unique places and spaces. We felt there was an opportunity to build something special in Tofino and went after the opportunity. We are a small team and we all wear a lot of hats - but it all fell into place serendipitously and we truly love working together.
