Chesterman Beach,
Vancouver Island,
British Columbia
The north and south beaches
are broken up by a sandspit that
reaches out to Frank Island, offer-
ing about three kilometres of white
sand. There’s great surfing (check
out Tofino’s surf schools and equip-
ment rentals if you’re up for ad-
venture) and storm watching in the
winter.
Wow factor: Humpback, grey, orca
and minke whales. If you’re lucky, a
great blue whale!
Nota bene: The hurricane-like
winds might blow you away.
Good Spirit Lake,
Good Spirit Lake Pro-
vincial Park, Canora,

for relaxing, sunbathing, golfing,

that are super-popular with young
families.
Wow factor: Watch for foxes, deer
