Songhees Point (p’álәc’әs)

Beautiful historic point on natural rocks in Victoria inner bay, with a view of BC government building and downtown. There's also a little beach at the bottom. Part of songhees waterfront path.

A shore hugging park along the waterfront of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, Songhees Point Park is a great place to watch the navigation of seaplanes, Coho Ferry, private yachts, sailing boats and Victoria Harbour Ferry boats.The one and half hectare park encompasses the start of the Westsong Walkway, a three kilometer pathway to Esquimalt, at the Johnson Street Bridge. Trees and shrubs shade wonderful places to stop for breaks and to take a photo.At low tides Discovery Rock might be accessible over the rock and mud seafloor. The Delta Victoria Ocean Point Hotel borders the parkland and has many beautiful flower displays. Tuzo Rock is just off shore. And a lovely small sandy beach can be found on the east side of Songhees Point at low tides. Include a stroll up the rocks that form Songhees Point, there is evidences of glacial activity on these granite rocks as well as an unique outdoor art. There are several benches and grassy points along the four hundred meters of paved and concrete footpaths. This is a wonderful park to explore in your neighborhood.

Beautiful spot, free parking, benches, harbour, heart of Victoria, landing and taking of seaplanes. Hiking, running, kayaking, birdwatching, and just relaxing galore.

We were in Port for only a few hours. Took a city tour. Beautiful at night.

A wonderful place to see the downtown Victoria from. The start of a walkway down the harbour. Very easy walk with pretty views of the harbour and nature.

It’s a small, but great little spot. I expected it to be a bit larger, but our main goal was to see some of the totem poles British Columbia has to offer. These are absolutely gorgeous and huge. There are some large rocks you can climb up to get a beautiful view of Victoria and the ocean at the same time. Take 20 minutes out of your day and enjoy it.

Just a great place to spend time watching the water craft and waterfowl. Although the walkway could use a good cleaning of the goose droppings (at least once a week). Even in a minefield you have a chance of not stepping on a mine. nasty.

Beautiful place for a nice walk.

This morning I was treated to a viewing of a sea otter enjoying it’s breakfast from about 20 feet away. A great way to start the day.

a nice place to see what is happening in the inner harbor as well as getting a close up view of seaplanes landing and taking off.
