Willows Beach
Willows Beach is one of Victoria's most popular swimming beaches. Its shallow, protected waters are suitable for young children, while views of Discovery Island and Mount Baker make basking, swimming or paddling there just that much more beautiful.
Willows Beach is ideal for enjoying summer activities such as beach volleyball and skimboarding, due to its sand beaches and shallow waters. A hotbed for fun in the sun, Willows Beach is a great spot for family gatherings and outdoor barbecues. Willows Beach is a popular day destination for locals, so expect line-ups at the concession stand on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
Archaeological excavation in the area has uncovered evidence of a once permanent encampment of Coast Salish peoples. Evidence suggests this settlement may have been destroyed by the Great Salish Sea Tsunami of 930AD.
Willows Beach is a 15-minute drive east from downtown Victoria. Located off Beach Drive in Oak Bay, this popular beach is a great place to see and be seen.
