The most famous surf beach in Canada. A 16 km stretch of sand inside Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, Long Beach picks up every swell that hits the coast. Mellow waves on small days make it ideal for beginners, while overhead swells provide punchy peaks across the entire beach. Cold water year-round — a thick wetsuit is essential.
