Macaulay Point Park — Attraction in Esquimalt

An amazing Off-Leash Dog Park on the southern tip of Vancouver island This coastal trail is partially-paved and highlights outstanding multiple views of significance.

Macaulay Green Park and Picnic Area features Fleming Beach, stellar views of Victoria's Inner Harbour, Metchosin, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca/Port Angeles USA. The diversity of the eco-system and geographical formations you will see here means that you should bring the best camera you have, without question.

When I lived in Victoria, this was my favourite little dog walking location or chill stop on the way home from work. There's a protected bay with 2 jetties for the boats club members, and always a boat or two coming or going or cleaning thier catch of salmon. There are a few harbour seals lingering for scraps that you can see almost daily. There is a natural climbing or bouldering wall surrounding the perimeter and paved foot path. There's a nice grassy picnic area that is supposed to be on-leash (that nobody listens to), as well as a large...
