Enjoy a picturesque loop through the beautiful waterfront landscapes of Downtown and James Bay Victoria. We’ll begin at Beacon Hill Park and follow easy, mostly flat urban terrain as we walk the coast along Dallas Road, passing the Ogden Point Breakwater and its iconic lighthouse. From there, the path winds past the colorful floating community at Fisherman’s Wharf, the grand Legislative Buildings, and the bustling Inner Harbour. After enjoying about 7 km of our 11 km walk, we’ll take a well-deserved break at the James Bay Farmers Market and the Good Earth coffee shop. For the final stretch, we will continue through the historic grounds of St. Ann’s Academy before wrapping up.
Pets are not permitted on our walks for the comfort and safety of all walkers, thank you!
