I have been to quite a few of them. Well, good enough to give a list and comment on them.
Unlike most of other beaches which are so crowded that you can hardly set your foot on
On the other hand, beaches at BC are less crowded...
.One more thing to be aware of is that most of the time, the water is too cold to take a bath (YES! Even in the summer.).
- Cadboro Bay Beach: (Pros)minutes away from the UVic campus. There are kids playground, sand, grass and picnic table. (Cons) The water is so dark, and logs are all over the place. (3 star)
- English Beach: next to(or inside?) Standley Park. It's a proper beach, which has life guard. You can as well as discovering the rising star.(4.5 star)
- Mount Dogulas Beach:
located next to Mt. Doughas. Even though, it is only 227m which cannot really be qualified for "mountain", it is the highest point in Victoria. It blows :( The water is warm, but I found dead crab and it is full of rocks and occasionally fragments of sea shells which makes it rather painful to walk on with bare feet. (2 star) - Ross Bay Beach:
next to Beacon Hill Park in the downtown Victoria. Not a proper beach, full of rocks and tree trunks. (2 star) - Sooke Potholes:
located at East Sooke Regional Park, it is a small and cozy beach, you can swim there as well as Cliff Jumping. (4 star) - Wreck Beach: next to the UBC campus at Vancouver. Haven't been there yet. Well, nothing special except it's just another nude beach. (* star)
- Willow's beach:
the best beach in Victoria. Sand, grass and playground make it an great place for picnic, beach volleyball and maybe castle building. I guess judging by the number of people lying on the beach, it is also the most popular one in Victoria. The neighbour is quite nice. However, the water is freezing cold. I set my foot in the ocean for merely 15 minutes and I can hardly feel my toes after that. (4 star) - Something only seen at the sea(ocean rather ;-) ):
- More to fill in later ...
