About Long Beach

Long Beach is a beach in British Columbia, Canada. It is 3016 meters from Schooner Cove Beach and 2 kilometers from Tofino-Long Beach Airport. The beach has a sandy surface.

From Wikipedia

Long Beach is the largest and longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is on Wickaninnish Bay between Tofino (NW) and Ucluelet (SE) and is adjoined by campgrounds and picnic areas. The Tofino–Ucluelet highway parallels the entirety of the beach. The beach's consistent surf, exposed to the open Pacific Ocean, established it as one of the earliest and most popular surfing locations in British Columbia.

Long Beach features rocky 'islands' in the mid-tidal zone of the beach that are accessible only at low tide. When the tide is high, these islands are either surrounded by water or thrashed by ocean swells.
