Songhees Point (p’álәc’әs) — Attraction in Victoria

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.

Incredibly beautiful. There's a long path that's good on foot, bike, longboard ect.

I managed to find a handful of ripe blackberrys along the way. Losses a star due to the overwhelming smell of gas in the whole Harber. Victoria had allowed way to many sea plains and tour boats with too few restrictions in the area. If it weren't so amazing in all other ways I'd bring the rating down to 2 stars due to the noises and smell. Still I...
