When: Saturday, June 3, 2023
Start Time: 8:45am for 9am departure.
Distance: 15.65 km

Carrying on the theme of Seven, this coastal adventure walk of 15.65km “from Anchor to Anchor” will explore some hidden areas, particularly at least seven hidden coves, of Victoria. Starting at the Big Anchor at Beacon Hill Park, this winding walk, often only 10-20m from the ocean, goes west through James Bay, curls east around the Inner Harbour, and then heads west to the Westbay Marina and a bit beyond to “the other anchor”.
We head back, stopping at the Spinnakers Restaurant and Brewpub (at 10.1km) for coffee and goodies, and then return along the beautiful coastline, past the Empress Hotel, through St. Ann’s Academy grounds and Beacon Hill Park, back to Mile O. The tour includes park paths, stairs, beach sand, sidewalks, flat pathways, hill paths, boardwalks, a bridge crossing, and a floating dock.
