Mackenzie Beach and the TinWis Resort Near Tofino, British Columbia.

It's a quiet, overcast New Year's Day and the perfect time to catch up on blogs reflecting on the past year.

I discovered some very beautiful places in 2009; places that I'll always remember and hope one day to return to.
One of these places was Tofino on Vancouver Island, British Columbia which I wrote about yesterday. View from our balcony at the TinWis Resort, Tofino, BC

When we were exploring the Tofino area, we stayed at the TinWis Resort on Mackenzie Beach. The TinWis is a beautiful post and beam resort overlooking the Pacific Ocean just a short drive outside of Tofino.

The views from our balcony were absolutely stunning with the changing sky and tides filling my gaze everytime I looked towards the ocean. Mackenzie Beach, Tofino, British Columbia

The grounds at the TinWis are impeccable with many benches overlooking the Pacific Ocean to relax on after a long day sightseeing.

If you plan to visit Tofino, consider staying at the TinWis Resort. You won't be disappointed. After the Rain on Mackenzie Beach, Tofino, BC

Hi William,

A very happy and successful 2010 year to you too!

The water is not as cold as it looks....I waded in and was quite surprised that it was less cold than Lake Ontario (the lake that the town where I live is located on).

Jo, It looks SO beautiful and peaceful....I would have loved the views and the area as well. I am so glad you're sharing some of the lovely places you were fortunate enough to visit.

Hi Terry,

I know that you're familiar with most of the places I visited so I always enjoy your comments....did you live on Vancouver Island?

Kathy,

If you and Barrie plan on one trip for the coming year, make this your destination. It's a part of Canada that is absolutely stunning and yet so few people know about it.

Hi Fred,

I did find it VERY warm...and was very surprised.
No videos....something I need to work on for upcoming blogs.

Happy New Year to you too!

Carole,

I know you would love it there. The energy in the entire region is so peaceful and good....hard to explain really, but I feel it is a very special place on earth and one of the few remaining.
