Salt is a cute little gift boutique located just above The Whale Centre. I noticed candles, mugs,…read morestuffed animals, throw blankets, socks and plenty of tees and sweatshirts. I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting to mention. This was my favorite shop for tees in Tofino. They have a large selection from West Coast Tees, a Vancouver Island printer. The prices are fair and the staff was great. The shop owner gave us a couple of recommendations for Nanaimo.

Every piece I picked up I wanted to buy, and some items I even already had. With name brands like Kenzo, Mavi, Guess and BK Dakota, this would make being trendy in Tofino a breeze, and at reasonable prices to boot (oh, they have boots too!)

Just visited this store, my 2 year old daughter (who is potty training may I add) said she had to…read morepee! Most people understand that when a kid this age say they have to pee, it means NOW. I asked very politely if they could make an exception to having no public washroom for my daughter having to pee, and they answer was NO, and that I could walk to another store to use their restroom a few minutes away. Within about 25 seconds, my daughter peed her pants. Thanks a lot DNA for not having common sense to make an exception now and again for kids. My daughter peed her pants due to your lack of common sense and compassion. Will not return.

La Cache is a little tough to find even if you've been there before. It's so teeny, you could…read moreactually walk right past it ... well, I did & I was looking for it! But it's a great little store with an incredible variety of fashion. They carry Fluevog shoes, semi casual dresses, feminine night wear, pretty affordable silver jewelry. What really stands out though is their service. Even when the store is busy & there's only one person working, you will be acknowledged and looked after. They have an amazing policy for holding items. They impressed me anyways because I asked them to hold shoes that were on sale. Normally, stores will give you grief about such a request. But they held the item for a few days for me. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 only because the store is small so limited in stock. They actually deserve a 4 1/5
