A beautiful crescent-shaped beach that consistently produces some of Tofino's best waves. More powerful than Chesterman, Cox Bay delivers hollow peaks and fast walls on solid swells. The annual Rip Curl Pro Tofino surf competition is held here. Surrounded by old-growth rainforest — stunning backdrop.
