Canada Black Rock Ocean Front Resort

This spot is in the Black Ocean Front Resort itself. But you will get similar views from the beach below. The main charm for me is the wild sea and the dark rocks.

Come for sunrise or sunset. Bring ND and graduate ND filters as well as a sturdy tripod. Which a long exposure you can achieve a great contrast between the sharp rocks and a smooth sea.

Take a ferry from Vancouver to Nanaimo and drive across the island towards Tofino. When you cannot go straight roughly 20 minutes before you get there go towards Ucluelet instead of Tofino and then go towards the Black Rock Ocean Front Resort. Use the Hotel parking and either walk down to the beach or on their porch through the lobby. You will find plenty of different angles to shoot.
And don’t forget to grab a bite to eat at The Catch in the Hotel itself on your way out...
