OAK BAY
Affluent Oak Bay is popular for its tree-lined namesake avenue, filled with smart boutiques and art galleries, fancy delis, and lively cafes. Casual spots serving brunch and fish and chips buzz with locals in nearby Estevan Village. A short stroll away, Willows Beach has calm waters for kayaking and paddleboarding, while yachts pack Oak Bay Marina.
A coastal drive passes the Victoria Golf Club and ritzy Uplands area. Oak Bay also boasts home to Canada’s #1 Rated Hotel and Victoria’s only ocean front spa, the Oak Bay Beach Hotel.
