Mermaid Tales Bookshop

Cute bookshop. Good choices, best sellers, fiction/non-fiction, stationery, boardgames but also a section of local books and field guides. Definitely worth a visit when in town!

Visited this bookstore on a visit to Tofino. Great selection considering its size. Staff member whose name I never got was super helpful. We bought a bunch of books and she gave us a discount on a durable bag as the paper ones to hand ripped. Would definitely visit again when I am lucky enough to visit Tofino again!

Great selection for a small shop - I've never walked out empty handed! Recently used their online ordering: yesterday I read about a book that sounded interesting, went to the Mermaid Tales website, typed the title into their search bar, 2 copies available! Clicked through and was able to easily prepay with my credit card, recieved an email shortly after letting me know the book was ready, stopped into the shop this morning and picked it up. I really recommend taking advantage of this service - No shipping fees, no waiting for an hour in the post office line, and it's supporting a small business that we love.

I loved this store. A gem among expensive clothing stores and touristy shops. Lots of books, a unique children’s section, good books about the island as well as mainstream popular books available. I definitely recommend!! Support book stores!!

Sweetest little bookshop, always a good selection of genres, great for when you are stuck inside because of the rain and forgot your book at home. Lots of little games, puzzles and a great selection of kites for the beach. No, you're not going to find every book under the sun, this isn't Amazon. We stop here every time we come to Tofino - shop small!
