Ogden Point and Breakwater

With beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains and a lighthouse at the end of the walk this is a favourite among locals for going on dates or just for a nice walk among friends. Depends on the weather you could get some waves thrown at you but that's half the fun.

Best View Of Victoria

Mt. Douglas

Rain or sine there will always be locals hiking around the beautiful paths of Mt Doug. There is an abundance of wildflowers, Douglas Fir, and Cedar trees. In addition to the mountain there is also Mt.Douglas Beach right below which is a favourite in the summer time. There is also a road up to the top so you can see the city light up at night.

Victoria's best ocean swimming beach

Willows Beach

The beach has a wonderful sandy stretch within a sheltered harbour, so the water is reasonably warm July & August. Also set in a nice neighbourhood with lovely restored homes and cottages 50-100 years old. A 5-minute drive/15-minute cycle from downtown.

Great summer swimming & year round hikes

Thetis Lake Regional Park

If you like walking, hiking or running in forested areas – and especially if you have a dog that needs off-leash exercise, this is the spot to go. And in summers the lake is a comfortable temperature for swimming and popular with families. The forested trails always smell wonderful.
