As summer is upon us, and the weather continues to improve, the Tofino RCMP would also like to remind people to mindful of their belongings while at the beach.  Please keep your vehicles locked, with valuables, and back packs out of sight.  While on the beach ensure your cameras, wallets, money  and valuables are kept on your person.  We understand keeping items on your person could be challenging while in the water, however we ask that you think ahead and only take what is necessary to the sand.
