Sports: Victoria Area Beaches
Beaches in Victoria fall into two categories: for wildlife and for people. Not
all the beaches are on the ocean! There are some very nice freshwater lakes in
the area, including Elk, Beaver (to the north) and Thetis (to the west). For
a clean sandy beach, you might try Cadboro Bay (near the University of
Victoria) or Willows Beach in Oak Bay. For a more rugged beach, look beside
Dallas Road (south of downtown), or by Mount Douglas or a bit further north
opn Cordova Bay. Here's an overview of the better beaches in the Victoria area:
Wildlife Beaches Here are some of the best beaches close to town for observing nature at its best:
People BeachesThese beaches are ideally suited for people to enjoy the ocean sunshine. Generally, these beaches have change rooms & showers, picnic tables, even playgrounds. Please keep in mind that you are not allowed beach fires in Victoria and Esquimalt, though you may in Oak Bay, Saanich, Central Saanich and North Saanich - if you get a fire permit from the municipal fire hall. None of the lake beaches have lifeguards.
