A Vancouver Island beach has been named one of the world’s best—and longest—beaches to visit, according to NDTV Travel.
From quiet shores to bustling coastal stretches, six beaches made this list, highlighting some of the longest beaches on earth and what makes them worth visiting—including one located right here on Vancouver Island.
Long Beach in Tofino Long Beach spans 16 kilometres and is known for its stunning sandy plains and sweeping coastal views.
The beach draws in visitors year-round, from storm-watchers in the winter to surfers in the summer, making it one of the region’s most beloved coastal destinations.
It’s also part of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, which includes the iconic West Coast Trail.
While much shorter than the other beaches listed—like Praia do Cassino, Brazil, which stretches 254 kilometres and Ninety Mile Beach in New Zealand at 88 kilometres—it still stands out as one of the most notable beaches in North America.
Whether you’re visiting for the surf, the scenery or a peaceful walk along the shore, it’s easy to see why this Vancouver Island destination continues to earn global recognition.
