This paved walkway borders the northern shore of the harbour. You can walk part or all of it. The whole thing will take you an hour. It is flat-ish and you'll meet runners, dog-walkers, and other friends. Very scenic. Stop for lunch at Spinnakers. Watch the seaplanes take off and land. Take pictures of the legislature and harbour.

A 19th-century frontier seaport is reborn more than 100 years later into a picturesque working fishing village.

We went to Steveston Fishing Village for dinner at Pajo’s Fish and Chips, after a great time at Terra Nova Park playground In Richmond. Both are a great place to walk about. The Cannery Museum is an historically significant site, once one of the many salmon canneries on the BC Coast. Park on the north side of the Cannery Museum. You can’t park near Pajo’s as that is for folks who live nearby on their fish boats. In Fall there are the great pumpkin gardens and corn mazes to run in just East of highway 99 intersection with Steveston Highway.

This scenic patch of waterfront is the location of Victoria's many tourist attractions, recreational activities, restaurants and shopping. For a special treat, have afternoon tea at the grand Empress Hotel or board a ferry for a harbor tour.

The Inner Harbour is the highlight of any visit to Victoria. Its a perfect place to walk around as there is a pathway around the whole harbour. From here there is a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars and is the perfect place to watch the float planes and cruise ships visiting the harbour. Here you can watch the water taxi's travelling around the harbour and people out rowing in the harbour. From here you can walk to Chinatown and the main shopping areas, visit the museums and view historic sites like the hotels and Government buildings, Its a perfect place to watch the sunset , and a walk around at night reveals stunning views of the parliament buildings lit up at night

Just around the corner from Victoria's Inner Harbour, Fisherman's Wharf is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. This unique marine destination offers food kiosks, unique shops and eco-tour adventures in the heart of the working harbour. Wander down the docks with your lunch, buy seafood fresh off the boat, see moored pleasure vessels and float homes, and watch as fishing vessels unload their wares.

We love to walk the area of the wharf. There is always a little something going on. Street entertainers, beautiful view of the boats and the parliament area, the Empress hotel and the quietness of the water even if we are in the downtown area.

Went to explore the waterfront and enjoyed a walk along the wharf. Plenty of shore birds and a flock of white pelicans. We also some some river otters scampering about. Definitely worth a stop.

We enjoy coming to White Rock and enjoy a nice stroll along the Board walk Pier! Lane ways are marked for walking out to the end & return side for coming back to the land side. Signage for social distancing is display all along the pier. Peaceful way to spend some quality time with family during COVID times!

The pier is long enough for a beautiful midday stroll. The smell of the ocean is invigorating and the sound of the seagulls is music to my ears.
