This walk starts at Hardy Park in Brentwood Bay, offering distant ocean views. We ascend to Gore Park, with slab rocks, moss and perhaps, flowers. Continuing to Oak Haven Park, then climbing a hill to a summit with Saltspring Island and peninsula farms in view. From there, we walk along Garden Gate Road to Gowlland Todd Provincial Park, stopping at the beach for a break. We continue on Benvenuto Avenue, taking a hidden path to Woodward before descending to the ocean. We walk along the ocean to Verdier Park, where we have a coffee and snack break and then meander through the streets before returning to our cars.
