Several of the cabins are also beachfront and families can walk just a few steps from their deck to the sand.

Adventure Playground
The large outdoor playground can be found in the center of the Crystal Cove community. The colorful playground is as much an art piece as it is a playground. It offers climbing areas, slides, a tire swing, a teeter-totter and a pirate ship constructed by a Tofino teenager.

The Best Time to Visit
The summer months are Tofino and Crystal Cove’s busiest times but really its busy almost year round at this resort. The cabins are booked throughout the year and busiest from about May through October. But many still visit in the winter months as well for storm season, which runs from late October through February. The weather is colder but it rarely snows. Instead, Tofino receives intense rains and winds in its winter months, which makes for great storm watching on the Pacific Ocean.

Getting There
Tofino is located on Vancouver Island, which offers no bridges from the mainland. So a ferry is needed to reach the island by vehicle. Vehicle ferries from Vancouver to Vancouver Island take about two hours and it is then about a three hour drive to Tofino. A small number of flights to the small Tofino airport are also available and Crystal Cove offers an airport shuttle.

Getting Around
The resort itself is easily walkable. The beach is not far from any location on the resort. Town is about a five minute drive away. Biking and walking are the most popular and convenient ways to get around Tofino but a vehicle is also nice to have. However, parking can be at a premium in town.
