One of the most recommended drives in Victoria, the Scenic Marine Drive follows the coastline, granting stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the Olympic Mountains and leading through some of the city’s most beautiful residential areas. This route is also very popular with cyclists and pedestrians. Beginning at the southwest corner of Beacon Hill Park, follow Dallas Road along the coastline, stopping at any of the numerous parking areas to take in the views. Along the way, Dallas Road’s name changes to Beach Drive and continues into the Oak Bay
neighborhood. At the Oak Bay Marina, watch the antics of seals playing in the water and check out the yachts. Next stop is Willows Beach for a stroll along the shoreline. Carry on to the exclusive
neighborhood of Uplands, the location of Uplands Park and the Cattle Point lookout. |
