Happy 🌊

Today, we reflect on all the reasons we are grateful to be on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

We are grateful for the thunderous crashing of the surf in winter and the way it swallows sunsets whole come summer time.

We are grateful to have the Pacific Ocean not as a backdrop, but as our centrepiece - our reason for existing on the wild West Coast.

Just as much as this Ocean protects us, providing us with food and oxygen and temperate weather, it is crucial we protect it as well.

Whether it's picking up a piece of plastic left on the shoreline, joining one of Tofino's weekly beach cleans during July and August hosted by , or leaving shells and intertidal creatures where you find them, there are many small ways to contribute to the protection of the Pacific Ocean during your next visit to the West Coast.

It’s not an escape. It’s a return.  Look familar? Have you stayed in this room before?

Meet Ike Seaman, our Director of Food & Beverage and Sommelier at The Pointe Restaurant. 🥂

Ike’s journey to the "Wick" is as unique as our location. After growing up in his family’s fish and chip shop in Nova Scotia, Ike traded cold Atlantic winters for the surf of Tofino in the 90s, eventually watching the Inn take shape from the water.

Whether he is curating our wine list to favour independent, family-owned wineries or fostering an atmosphere where guests feel completely at ease, Ike’s goal is simple: to offer something meaningful without making it complicated.

Go behind the scenes and hear Ike’s story in our latest video:

Always a coastal citizen, Ike Seaman grew up on the East Coast of Canada where his family owned small cottages and a fish n’ chip shack at Summerville Beach, Nova Scotia. He would sweep floors and peel potatoes for ice cream; they eventually progressed to prep cooking and serving (his favourite) t...

They call it forest bathing - but maybe it’s something even simpler. A quiet moment where nature takes the lead, and you simply listen.

Rooted in Shinrin-Yoku, a Japanese practice that translates to "forest bathing," this mindful way of being in nature is known to lower cortisol, restore energy, boost immunity, improve mood, and deepen our connection to the world around us. No destination, no agenda, just the simple act of being present among the trees.

On your next visit to the Inn, we invite you to explore our on-property Rainforest Trail and let the calm of the forest ground you, far away from the rush of daily life.

We often talk about the big views on the coast, but today is about the small details that make them possible.

Without the work of bees, much of what we gather, cook, and grow simply wouldn't be here. From the herbs and edible flowers in our kitchen to the berries on our grounds that are growing plumper by the day, these tiny pollinators are the reason our local bounty thrives.

Our commitment to the land and ocean means supporting those who protect it. We are proud to work with local growers who prioritize pollinator health and responsible, seasonal harvesting to ensure this ecosystem stays balanced.

On World Bee Day, we’re sending a quiet thank you to the bees for everything they do to keep this coastline vibrant. 🐝
