WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF - DREAMS LOS CABOS RESORT REVIEW
WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF - DREAMS LOS CABOS RESORT REVIEW
By Richard Chudy
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand...
Is all that we see or seem,
But a dream within a dream?...

Tofino, BC Canada Beach Paradise on Canada's "Big Island"
British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing tourism hotspots in North America. The reason, like so many other tourism Meccas, is landscape. In BC you will find high desert, mountains, long sandy beaches, lush rainforest, vast glaciers and everything in-between.
You've likely heard of BC, but there's a good chance that you haven't heard about the province's fastest growing tourism destination: Tofino. Located on the west coast of "Canada's Big Island", Tofino is home to long sandy beaches, world-class hotels and restaurants, and some pretty good surfing.
Tofino gained fame in the early 90's when logging in the region's old-growth forests turned many of the locals into action-taking envioronmentalists. As the logging continued and the locals grew more and more upset, and before anyone knew what happened, the Clayoquot Sound Blockade was the largest non-violiont act of civil disobedience in Canadain history.
All of this media attention brought visitors to Tofino - lots of visitors. Today
more than 1 million tourists pass through Tofino in a year. All of these people are crammed into a town with a year-round population of about 1700.
Most of Tofino's visitors are arriving because of the amazing natural resources that abound in the Clayoquot Sound region. Sea kayaking is very popular, as is surfing, walking the long sandy beaches, and fishing for the huge salmon that abound in the near-shore waters.
Of all the places in BC to become a tourism Mecca, Tofino has to be one of the most unlikely. Situated at the end of a remote peninusla, it's almost comical that som many folks flock here on a yearly basis. But once you've arrived in Tofino and experienced the landscpape, oceanscape and the relaxed coastal way of life, you'll probably be planning your next trip back before you leave.
Hector Fuente is a globetrotter who is currently planning his next trip back to Tofino BC.
