Road to Grice Bay

Grice Bay Road in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve

Grice Bay Road offers a quiet, beautiful country road down to a rocky beach area that overlooks the inlet vista of Grice Bay. A boat launch is available there for both kayaks and power boats. And it’s high on GoTofino’s favourite places to be for the scenery, the quiet and the cycling.

It’s an inlet experience and an easy access point to view the peace and beauty of Clayoquot Sound. Many people drive down and just drive back out again because it’s not a sandy beach with surf. We ask that you stop a moment, breathe and open yourself to the quiet majesty.

! Tip: Our favourite spot is at the bridge just before the end of the road. It’s quiet, calm and beautiful to explore. Often herons hanging out fishing and bears cruising by the shoreline. We like to hang out there.

Cycle the Grice Bay Road and enjoy the forest and wildlife: Bears, garter snakes, birds. There is one hill and the rest is flat and paved the entire way. Little traffic. Take in the sun shining through the forest as you ride by.
