If you’ve ever sat beside a beach fire at dusk on the west coast, you’ll know the feeling: that mix of warmth, smoke, sea air, and stillness that settles into your bones. Mackenzie Beach, our smoked vanilla and burnt cedar candle, was created to hold that exact memory.

For us, this candle is more than a scent — it’s a love letter to the stretch of shoreline we’re lucky enough to call home.

Our little family lives just up the road from Mackenzie Beach — around 300 steps from our front door, though Jade and I have never officially counted. This beach is our backyard, our playground, and our escape. The waves here are gentle enough for swimming, for learning how to balance on a paddleboard, for catching those early boogie board rides with friends. It’s where we walk when the day needs unwinding. Where we catch the softest sunsets, the ones that turn the sky peach and lavender as the tide rolls in.

There’s a calm here that we haven’t found anywhere else.

The candle itself was inspired by those golden summer nights — beach fires burning low, marshmallows melting into chocolate for gooey s’mores, the quiet rhythm of the ocean nearby, and that unmistakable scent of cedar smoke in your hair and hoodie long after you’ve gone home.

Poured into a reusable rocks glass, this 8-ounce candle burns for 50 hours, offering you long, cozy evenings of warmth and memory.

Like all of our Coastal Candles, Mackenzie Beach is:

• Vegan

• Sustainably made

• Created with ethically sourced ingredients

• Crafted on Tla-o-qui-aht land, by the sea

Whether you're lighting it in the city to remember a slower pace, or gifting it to a friend who loves the coast as much as you do, Mackenzie Beach brings a little piece of Tofino home.

Let it remind you: the fire’s always waiting.

From our hands to yours,
Tam xo
