Project Overview
The District of Tofino is enhancing access to one of its most popular beaches by constructing a new accessible concrete ramp at the north end of Cox Bay (1431 Pacific Rim Highway). This upgrade will provide safer and more inclusive access to the beach for individuals using mobility aids, strollers, and other accessibility supports.
This project supports the District’s broader commitment to creating barrier-free public spaces and ensuring that Tofino’s outdoor areas are welcoming to everyone.
Important Details
Construction is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, and is expected to be complete by early June, weather permitting.
The parking lot, washroom, trail & beach access to Cox Bay will be closed for the duration of the construction. The public is asked to respect all posted signage and avoid fenced or restricted areas during this time.
Residents & visitors looking to access Cox Bay can do so via Maltby Road/Sakurai Lane.
Project Funding
This project is fully funded by the Province of British Columbia through the Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) program. The RMI program supports sustainable tourism development and helps small resort communities like Tofino invest in infrastructure that benefits both residents and visitors.
