Lime Bay Park
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
This park has a small waterfront area and footpaths right on the bay, with views across Victoria Harbour toward James Bay and Fisherman’s Wharf. Because it’s right on the water, you’ll often see boats and ferries pass by, and there’s informal beach access and benches for resting or watching waterfront activity.

West Bay Walkway
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The West Bay Walkway is a wooden boardwalk on the Esquimalt waterfront. Together with the Westsong Way, the walk provides a 5-kilometer-long connection for walkers to downtown Victoria.
In early May 2025, we stayed overnight at the RV park at the West Bay Marina and walked the route there and back twice. The entire walk is lit at night. There's a recommended place to stop for refreshments about halfway along the walk.
