Welcome to
Frank Island
Tofino, Vancouver Island
A Private Island Retreat on Chesterman Beach
A Place Unlike Any Other
Hidden on the rugged coastline of Frank Island, this extraordinary private retreat occupies one of the most remarkable settings on Canada's West Coast.
Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and positioned directly across from miles of one of the best beaches in the world, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty and adventure. Here, mornings begin with coffee overlooking the ocean watching the whales swim by, afternoons are spent surfing, fishing, exploring tide pools or wandering endless beaches, and evenings conclude with spectacular sunsets from the deck as waves break against the shoreline below.
For the current owners, Frank Island has been far more than a vacation property. It has been a place to raise children, gather with family and friends, celebrate milestones, and disconnect from the demands of everyday life.
It is a place where backgammon tournaments replaced screen time, where cold plunges and cliff jumping became family traditions, where annual fishing trips brought generations together, and where countless evenings were spent watching the sun disappear into the Pacific.

Life on Frank Island
Few places offer such an extraordinary balance of seclusion and accessibility.
From spring through fall, access is available throughout the day and night. During winter months, island life becomes guided by the rhythm of the tides—a routine that owners quickly embrace as part of the experience.
Bicycles become the preferred mode of transportation.
Groceries arrive by cart.
Days slow down.
The natural world takes over.
The reward is an environment unlike virtually anything else available in North America.
Imagine:
-
Paddling directly from your island to uncrowded surf breaks.
-
Catching salmon steps from your front door.
-
Watching eagles soar overhead from your deck.
-
Enjoying morning coffee while seals and sea otters drift past.
-
Hosting family and friends in complete privacy.
-
Experiencing sunsets, moonrises and storms from one of the most dramatic coastal settings in British Columbia.
