Photo: Long Beach

Long Beach at Pacific Rim National Park British Columbia. This park is near Tofino on Vancouver Island. This beach is so flat that its impossible to know where the shoreline is because every wave stops at a different point. In the off season when the waves are higher this is one of the few places in Canada where you can surf.
