About
About Central Vancouver Island
Central Vancouver Island runs from Campbell River on the east coast, known as the Salmon Capital of the World, across to Tofino on the Pacific Rim. Tofino sits in the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Region, with old-growth rainforest, surf beaches such as Long Beach and Cox Bay, and grey whales passing between February and October. Visitors come for whale and bear watching, sea kayaking, fishing and resorts on both coasts.
