There’s something undeniably magical about ending the year on the edge of the Pacific. The roar of the waves, the salty air, and the glow of fireworks over Tofino’s beaches create a celebration like no other. If you’re spending New Year’s Eve with us (or planning a coastal escape) here’s your guide to catching both local fireworks shows.
Cox Bay Beach New Year’s Eve Fireworks
December 31, 2025 | 8:00pm
Kick off your evening with an early show at Cox Bay Beach. With wide-open skies and long stretches of sand, this is one of the most iconic spots in Tofino to welcome a fresh year.
Pro tip: Bring a flashlight or headlamp for the walk back. Cox Bay gets very dark once the fireworks fade.
Tinwis Beach New Year’s Fireworks
December 31, 2025 | 9:30pm
If you’re craving a second show (or prefer a later celebration) Tinwis Beach lights up next. It’s a beautiful way to end the night, surrounded by community, ocean air, and the quiet energy of winter on the coast.
Don’t forget: Just like Cox Bay, Tinwis is pitch-black after the finale. A small light goes a long way.
Make a Night of It
Whether you bundle up with your crew, take a romantic walk under the stars, or wander out after dinner, watching fireworks on the beach is a classic Tofino tradition. And if you’re staying with us at Tofino Resort + Marina, you’re never far from the wild beauty that makes nights like these unforgettable.
Here’s to 2026, may your next adventure be your best yet.
