Dallas Road Beach

Reviewed By Redkitewatcher64 - Andover, United Kingdom

Did this walk to explore some of the quieter side of Victoria. Take the path from Fisherman's wharf and follow the coastline. A well made path all the way and stunning views out to sea and the wildlife & bird life there . Loved all the older style wooden buildings along this route Lots of park benches on the way to sit and enjoy views or enjoy a picnic. We turned off at the world largest totem pole and cut back through the stunning Beacon Hill Park , Great way to spend a few hours in the sunshine

Willows Beach

Reviewed By RobertMJThompson - Victoria, Canada

If your visiting Greater Victoria you must not miss spending time at Willows Beach. On a still, sunny day you can lounge on the sand or stroll through adjoining Willows Park. There is a tea room in the park and a children's swing set. Washrooms are well maintained. Looking out on the Salish Sea you'll see a marina, boats passing through the Juan De Fuca Strait and snow covered Mt. Baker far in the distance. Take Fort St. to Bowker, then left on Beach Dr. , right on Estevan. plenty of free beach side parking.

9. Ella Beach

Ella Road, Sooke, British Columbia Canada http://sooke-portrenfrew.com/listings/ella-beach/

A spectacular rocky beach with many large Douglas firs and Sitka spruces dotting the shoreline. This beach is a favourite among locals, and is very little known among tourists.
