Overcast, rainy days call for bundling up with you honey and walking
along the beach hand-in-hand. If youre on the search for a romantic
getaway, get to Tofino and brave the end of storm-watching season up
close, or create your own action (wink, wink) behind closed doors.

Middle
Beach Lodges original property, Lodge at the Beach, is also known as
the adult-only hide-a-way. The cosy rooms have no distractions like TVs
or phones, but when you do want to emerge back into the (somewhat) real
world, the plush couches and oversized chairs around a large fireplace
in a common great room await. Not to be missed: fresh-baked cookies are
served nightly at 8 p.m. Rooms from $99, Middle Beach Lodge, 400
MacKenzie Beach Rd., Tofino, 250-725-2900, www.middlebeach.com
