Long Beach is the largest and longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is located on Wickaninnish Bay between Tofino (NW) and Ucluelet (SE) and is adjoined by campgrounds and picnic areas. The Tofino-Ucluelet highway parallels the entirety of the beach. The beach's consistent surf, exposed to the open Pacific Ocean, established it as one of the earliest and most popular surfing locations in British Columbia.

  • Long Beach ist der größte und längste Strand im Pacific Rim National Park Reserve an der Westküste von Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Kanada. Er liegt an der Wickaninnish Bay zwischen Tofino (NW) und Ucluelet (SO) und grenzt an Camping- und Picknickplätze. Der British Columbia Highway 4 verläuft parallel zum gesamten Strand. Die konstante Brandung des Strandes, der dem offenen Pazifik ausgesetzt ist, hat ihn zu einem der frühesten und beliebtesten Surfgebiete in British Columbia gemacht. (de)

  • Long Beach ist der größte und längste Strand im Pacific Rim National Park Reserve an der Westküste von Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Kanada. Er liegt an der Wickaninnish Bay zwischen Tofino (NW) und Ucluelet (SO) und grenzt an Camping- und Picknickplätze. Der British Columbia Highway 4 verläuft parallel zum gesamten Strand. Die konstante Brandung des Strandes, der dem offenen Pazifik ausgesetzt ist, hat ihn zu einem der frühesten und beliebtesten Surfgebiete in British Columbia gemacht. In der Gezeitenzone des Strandes Long Beach befinden sich felsige Inseln, die nur bei Ebbe erreichbar sind. Wenn die Flut hoch ist, sind die Inseln entweder von Wasser umgeben oder werden vom Wellengang getroffen. Des Weiteren gibt es gefährliche Brandungsrückströme rund um die größeren Inseln und teilweise weiter entfernt im offenen Meer. Unbeaufsichtigtes Schwimmen wird als riskant und gefährlich angesehen. Aufgrund dessen ist der Zugang zum Strand bei starkem Unwetter eingeschränkt. Auffällig angebrachte Schilder warnen vor der Gefahr, den Strand bei Flut zu betreten. An Küste als Treibholz herumliegende Holzstämme können unerwartet durch Wellen in Bewegung gesetzt und an höher gelegene Bereiche des Strandes geschwemmt werden. (de)
  • Long Beach is the largest and longest beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is located on Wickaninnish Bay between Tofino (NW) and Ucluelet (SE) and is adjoined by campgrounds and picnic areas. The Tofino-Ucluelet highway parallels the entirety of the beach. The beach's consistent surf, exposed to the open Pacific Ocean, established it as one of the earliest and most popular surfing locations in British Columbia. Long Beach features rocky 'islands' in the mid-tidal zone of the beach that are accessible only at low tide; when the tide is high, these islands are either surrounded by water or thrashed by ocean swells. In addition, dangerous rip currents exist around the larger islands, and to some extent in the open sea farther out. Unsupervised swimming is considered extremely hazardous, and park visitors have been swept from shorebound rocks during storm season; for this reason, beach access is restricted during heavy storm weather. Prominently posted signs warn about the danger of visiting the beach during high tide, as shorebound logs can be shifted unexpectedly by swells that wash onto the higher reaches of the beach. (en)
