Reviews of Breakwater Lighthouse (Tourist Attraction)

Erin Olson

Beautiful walk out to a small lighthouse! It's breathtaking!

Steve Turner

Great views walking out to it. If you look close enough in the water you may even find a Starfish

Juice

A neat place to walk out to on the breakwater. Plenty to see as you travel the almost 1.5 kilometers and a great place for pictures.

Tom

My wife and I go for the exercise and the view is nice. One very popular spot with everyone,locals or tourist.The new railing was worth it to be safe.The day we were was warmer than expected,definitely bring a camera.Some benches to sit on,the summer time would be nice here on a warm day.

Andrés Lagar Sánchez

I always love coming here. Its always a lovely short walk, whether it's cloudy or sunny, day or night, or warm or windy and cold. It is a must see if you decide to spend some time in the city! It is also right between the Fisherman's Wharf and Beacon Hill Park, so if you have some time, it's definitely worth it going on an adventure and visiting the three places!

Eli Cross

As far as lighthouses go, this one's not too shabby.

Salar Alabadi

A favorite place to visit. I love the nearby restaurant, seeing all the people enjoying the area especially in these covid times! Saw my first Victoria sea lion and jellyfish right by the breakwater last weekend!

Peter Milne

This is a great walk out to the lighthouse and has fantastic views. There is the majestic Olympic Mountains across the straight one way and Victoria the other. It is a very active harbor with sea planes, helicopters and ferries coming and going throughout the day.

It was a unique and fun place to get out and go for a walk. There wasn't anything really spectacular about it, but it was a nice short jaunt.

Stunning views all around and a great piece of history. Keep an eye out for urchins, and seals amongst the kelp.

Anita Baker

Beautiful walk

Tod Purchase

Beautiful views, nice for a afternoon walk.

Beautiful walk with family or friends

Nice walk on a sunny day.

Iffat gulshan ara

I Love the place

Eric Harding

Nice little walk at night

Daniel Bouchard

Always a pleasure to visit. Stunning view with occasional sea-life.

Walt Nicholson

One of the best views in victoria.

Jep Cohen

Supper cool. No public restrooms though.

Eri Ishitani

It's worth visiting here to watch the sunset! You can enjoy 360° view of a beautiful sunset here!!

Rich Mixture

a must if you're not from the island or area!

Scott Plunkett

This is a great flat walk for anybody whether you are just out for a stroll or trying to be romantic.

tommy braybrook

One of the best short walks in Victoria...great views, safe, level surface...all ages and abilities ????

J J

Great place for a walk and awesome views

Simmons K

This was an adventure on a windy day. Wind gusts were possibly over 60 km/h.

Erich Nolan

Lovely spot to watch the sunset! Worth the walk if the weather is good.

Bruce Xiao

Enjoy beautiful sunset over there

Jessica Rogers

Nice walkway out to the lighthouse...especially for a sunset! Expect it to be a bit busier in peak times (summer, weekends) but still worth it. If it's safe weather wise and you're physically able try walking back below right alongside the water - not only are there less people but lovely indigenous murals along the way!

Megan Coburn

The view from the Breakwater Lighthouse is stunning! Next time I come back, I want to bring a thermos of hot coffee so I can spend more time cozy and warm out on the edge. I was told that if you are lucky, you can see whales from the Breakwater. If you are looking for a lovely walk that offers a bit of distance and stunning views without being too taxing, this is my #1 recommended walk in Victoria. #letsguide #walk

Kyle Passamare

One of my favorite places to grab a coffee and go for a walk in Victoria.

Cynthia Osiemi

The trek seemed endless but it was good exercise. However don’t forget your jacket because it gets real chilly as you venture further. The views are amazing so have a camera handy.

Teagan Gosling

Great walk out into the Victoria Harbour. Great to go out for the exercise or to see the beauty of Victoria. Can be quite busy in the summer when three cruise ships are in berth.

Petra BC, Canada

So beautiful.

Dj SangherA

Vary nice 1.5 walk open ocean view ????

Gary Morden

Spectacular views of the Ocean and of Victoria's shoreline. At night look across the water, the lights of cities can be seen in Washington state

Hilde Schepens

Nice 1km walk on the breakwater. Good chance to see small animals in the water so keep your eyes peeled! Good view on Olympic national park mountain range.

Jeffrey Patteson

It's a nice long walk to the beacon and the views from there are beautiful

Sly Houst

I walk this beautiful place every morning and suprised by the various sea life I see.

Liquid Swan

Beautiful views of the harbour, definitely worth checking out whether you are a local or a visitor. Nice cafe and tasting room at the beginning of the Breakwater. Would be nice if there were more options for food and drink nearby, but it is a relatively residential area. In other places around the world there are cabana style businesses which sell beer and snacks and some cooked foods, and there is nothing like that here, even though everyone loves them. Beach nearby is here and there on quality, some nice places to chill, but with the tides it will literally be here and there. Sometimes you’ll see a seal or sea lion (this day we saw a male elephant seal, momentarily, but we failed to get a good picture of it, scared the little fish and made them start jumping out of the water. A lone Heron balanced on floating tangles of kelp. Was quite nice.

Travis

Bring your walking shoes because it's a long walk to get to that tiny lighthouse. It's a good thing that there was a lot to look at along the way including the excellent artwork along the Breakwater wall.

Daniel Ram

Definitely pay a visit if you are in Victoria. About 10-15 min walk from Fisherman's Wharf Park to the start of the Breakwater. Go down to the water access points. Very refreshing walk and a great view.

Willem Pennings

Got to see a few large cruise ships docked here.

Phil McEvoy

Great walk and views

Amie

Good spot to start or end a walk along Dallas road, or to walk off a meal from breakwater cafe. Be prepared for a more windy area even if it’s not as windy at the start.

M Lipcsei

Walk way out on the ocean .5mi out. Great view of the harbour mouth and and wildlife I saw Killer whales swim by a ways out. Great time of the year to cool down when it is hot out. Highly Recommended!

Sarah Hawkes

I loved this part of my adventure! You can walk down along the rocks that line the walkway as you look out and have a beautiful view. There were some guys fishing, some runners on their run, and there I was sitting along the bottom eating my lunch and enjoying the view out over the water.

lori felker

Good place to go with the family

Jordan Petrie

Beautiful walk out into the water. Check it out on a stormy and windy day, you won't be disappointed!

Bogdan Nina

A nice place for a walk , summer or winter! In the summer you can see the cruise ships pulling in and out the dock.

Darryl Schmidt

A most awesome place to watch the sun set and snuggle up to your honey. Would recommend. Bring a jacket!

melissa verrero

Beautiful views. Great place for a walk

Arthur Ma

Photos speak for themselves. Worth the visit.

Ian Darrel

The perfect place for photo opportunities or a quick 1 KM stroll by the water. It can be very windy on some days though, so dress appropriately!

Eli Laing

Nice walk and a nice place to sit! Good to visit and look at the ocean, especially if you walk down on the lower levels to get there. Note: don't take small children on the lower levels, the rocks are too high for them to climb safely!

Chad Keogh

Very scenic...

Rachel Julia (MissHerby)

Such a lovely place for locals and tourists to walk and enjoy the sunset and scenery. Also-many cute dogs around (bonus points!)

Aaron Oxley

Beautiful spot, also a great location to catch some free dinner!

Natalie Cove

A long walkway out to the lighthouse. A perfect place to take in the surrounding views of Dallas Road and the Olympic Mountains.

Md Rezaul Karim Robin

Beautiful bridge heads 1 km inside water! Was lucky to see sealion too! Keep your eyes on the water!

Patrick D

As what the other people that have visited this place, this is one of the many walks that you can do while in Victoria. Friends and I have figured that we would see the sunset from the lighthouse on out last night in Victoria and it was amazing! The walk from the parking lot is quite a bit but the breeze that you feel while walking plus the sound of the water and the beautiful sunset made it worth it!

Gerry L'Esperance

my favorite morning walking place

Janis E Madsen

The breakwater lighthouse is a walking route we take daily. Then stop at the Ogden Point Cafe or The Kraken for coffee and some great food. Staff is always friendly and service is great!!

RadoAct HyprNova

Breathtaking views! Nice walk.

Tony Whyte

Nice place to walk.

Sue Johnson

Nice scenic walk around and back to our cruise ship!

Roger Aba

After the long walk, it is nice to reach a goal right? This is a small light house and there are seats for a few people to sit and relax. Were kinda fortunate to a cruise ship dock while there!

John Vreden

Always a nice place to be. This time there were a pod of Orcas swimming into the inner harbour past all the sailboats, kayaks, water taxis, whale watcher boats, pleasure craft, Blackball ferry, etcetera. So much activity going on here. ????

RYAN ILSOO JEONG

Enjoy Siren’s Welcome and Seagulls’ singing for you!!!

Nitish

Calming. Serene. A must visit for every passer-by.

Sheila P

Fun breakwater walk. A must do when visiting Victoria. Good for families.

Josh Teng

The breakwater and lighthouse are a must see when you come to Victoria, I especially like walking on the bottom part be careful though as there are gaps as well as there's always the possibility of getting wet. The handrails along the upper part have made it much safer now.

Todd Morgan

Beautiful place all year round. Great place for scuba diving and sports fishing.

Thomas Crossman

Very foggy today, couldn't even see the mainland from halfway out. Quite an otherworldly experience.

Lisa R

A wonderful walk fir anyone.

Laara Yardley

This is just one of the many walks in Victoria. Especially when there's cruise ships, which there are none now because of covid-19, and other activity in and over the waters: a pilot boat cruising toward a waiting freighter in the Juan de Fuca Strait; people fishing from the blocks of cement just below the breakwater; whale watching boats passing by; float planes on their way to Coal Harbour in Vancouver. I love coming here when the summer sun has reached 8 a.m. Benches at the lighthouse provide a nice rest.

Todd Thedell

Great walk, worth the distance.

Stephanie

Nice path to stroll along with protective railing. It can be quite windy on some days, but you can see beautiful sunset there.

B Moore

Make sure you use the washroom before you attempt this! There’s not only the path on top that you take, there’s another along the side of this breakwater.

Laura C

I didn’t really think this was a great tourist attraction IMO. We walked specifically to see the lighthouse. I was quite disappointed it was old and there was paint chipped everywhere. It also had some faded ugly graffiti. I guess people really enjoy the view though, but the lighthouse itself was a disappointment.

Stephanie Watson

I love the view here and how open it is when you approach it. You can see many different creatures here, and a beautiful mural done by first Nations artists. I've enjoyed lunch before at the cafe that is near the walkway. You won't be disappointed when you visit here. Definitely worth it for the pictures you'll get!

Dylan Benson

A great walk with wonderful views, especially at sunset.

Travis Ram

Very nice walk with an great view.

Scott Spillers

A tranquil location with fantastic ocean views. A great place to watch cruise ships as they arrive into port.

Grant Morrison

Great walk to get there and you can walk on path or down by water either way. Enjoyable.

Alvin Gomez

Fresh Air, Beautiful View❤️

yudo widi

The place so beautiful, with outstanding drama scenery...awesome place to hang out or chilling your mind

sneha chacko

It's very really peaceful sitting by the lighthouse watching the beach .

Alicia A

Good place to walk around in. There is a restaurant nearby you can get a bite to eat at.

Sean Watt

Amazing. Worth the walk and truly an impressive walk.

Jeff P

Ogden Point Breakwater is a great scenic walk out to the lighthouse.

Robert Brown

Great Place for a Run!

Helen Edley

Wear a hat to protect your ears if it's windy, but hold onto it tight!

Neha Singh

This is a beautiful place and lot of fun to walk through the pathway. In winters you get to see storm and seals, in summer probably surfers n kayaks. A must see when visiting Victoria, also don't forget to wear raincoat.

Evan Groot-Koerkamp

Nice cozy spot for some local craft beers and food.

siddharth wadhwa

Great place to walk around and see..

Paige Labrecuqe

So beautiful to stroll down

Anthony Brigandi

loved stretching my legs out on this walk! you might see a seal or two!

Travis Banman

Very peaceful and beautiful place to sit and watch the sun go down

Jared Bayley

I definitely recommend checking out this attraction in Victoria. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk out to the lighthouse from the street, but it's a really enjoyable walk with great views of the ocean and ship port, and on clear days, Washington State. Out at the lighthouse there are benches you can sit on, to rest up before heading back to the start of the pier. Really nice views, totally worth checking out!

Tailspin Tannis

Nice place for an easy walk. Wheelchair accessible. Pets must be on a leash and you must haul your dog excrement out with you. No garbage cans out there. Dress warmly.

Aimee McNally

Great walk!

Irene Forget

Nice and a great walk!

Lorna Archer-Quinn

Great place to walk.

Tunai P. Marques

Great place to watch the sunset

Dennis Rodriguez

Good stroll with great view and it's relaxing

One of the popular location to visit in Victoria.

Maryam Bavand

Loved loved this place! The most beautiful walk and the view is spectacular ♥️

Yi Bao

Flat walk with great view. Saw a large crab..

Nazmus Sakib

A beautiful place for a morning or afternoon walk

mona upreti

I had not expected a place so close to the hustle bustle of downtown, be so beautiful & serene ! The amazing view of the Pacific ocean with mountains in the backdrop, the snow dusted peaks shining golden in the evening Sun, the people waiting in patience with the fishing rods and the surprise visit by the seal made this an awesome experience! The small lighthouse added to the effect. Must visit !

Randy Smith

An awesome walk always a favorite of mine to be close to the water

Rooz Izadi

A great place to take a stroll

Md Khan

Very nice place, long pier suitable for walk and jog. Breathtaking view of sea, ships, seaplanes. Was lucky to see seals dancing in the water.

Scott Angell

The breakwater walk is about a half mile walk that puts you out in the sea with a unique perspective of Victoria. That a jacket most days.

Maneesha Kumari

Great place for a night walk

Liam

It's an easy flat walk (a little over ¾ of a kilometre long). There are two routes. Atop the breakwater or the less popular route over the large granite blocks lower down. Be aware that it's often blustery and one should dress appropriately for the time of year. Though depending on the direction of the wind often times the lower walk will be in a wind shadow. One word of warning about the lower walk over the blocks is that often times due to wave action one might be surprised with a face full of salt spray. Luckily there is one exit (stairs to the upper walkway) around the half way point. It's a good place for uninterrupted vistas and wildlife viewing. I've been noticing lately a lot of otters often in groups. I even witnessed an eagle trying to take a fish from an otter last week. Harbour seals are also spotted regularly as well. The seagulls never leave. I've yet to see any whales or orca but they've been spotted at a distant so bring your binoculars. If you're a diver then this is superb shore diving destination. You can start shallow and go deep or walk to the end and go directly to 90 feet. Unfortunately the dive shop that use to be located here is no more so you'll have to have your tanks filled up elsewhere.

Joy Jung

Beautiful place to walk anytime. Make me feel fresh all the time!!

Brian Higgin

Tonight the air was still and the water was smooth as glass. Perfect crisp night for a walk on the breakwater.

Ryan Alverdes

I never know how to rate something like a lighthouse. It's a lighthouse. I want to visit them all. As far as lighthouses go, you won't be wowed by this one, but the walk out and the area are very pleasant, and I was happy we did it.

Marg MacQuarrie

Being on the ocean with views of the cruise ships and the Olympic Mountains.

Hunter Stoll

It's a lighthouse at the end of the breakwater. There's tons of benches for you to sit, relax, and enjoy the view after the walk. All that's missing us a free massage booth to top it all off. As the good citizens of Victoria we are, we should get the city to implement that. At least our tax dollars will go to something that's practical. Hahahaha!

Jason Hill

Really cool viewpoint. Watched seals swim by while watching the sunset.

christopher warren

A must visit.

Philip Schram

A pleasent walk if its not very windy. From the break water you do get a great view of the harbour and sea planes.

Amar S

Victoria has lot of things to enjoy. This is one of them. Can sit here all day

Mrinmoy Chakraborty

Excellent view from this point. Do checkout the sunset time before you visit and reach there atleast half an our before that. Click pictures and share with everyone! There are stairs to go down to the sea level as well.

rose o'neill

Beautiful walk to the lighthouse

Valerie Holden

Its a long walk but very peaceful at the lighthouse. When you arrive at the lighthouse, there are plenty of benches to enjoy.

Tony Kroeker

Great views. Easy access.

Jack Schroeter

It’s a lovely walk out to the lighthouse, on stormy days you’ll get a misting from the salt water and it’s a fantastic view of the city.

Federico Hernández

Nice place for a walk

W Kralt

A very popular place for local and tourist alike. Great views of all the popular marine traffic and activities. The breakwater itself is a good walk ending at the lighthouse from which you have close-up views of all the boat traffic going in and out of the Victoria harbour.

Ms Jaydin J

Very beautiful worth walking if you're visiting

Zo Wade

Fantastic area of James Bay. A short 15 minute walk to the lighthouse and a good sight to check out if in Victoria. The best sight to see as it is free.

Zac Bergart

Nice walk and view.

Maranda Nielson

This is really an amazing place in Victoria. It is a beautiful walk. If it is nice weather I would highly recommend it.

Sweths P

Really lovely views of the strait, and offers a nice walk along the Ogden Point bay to reach it

Joel Kerfoot

Very nice place to have a walk or to sit and enjoy the view.

stephanie mcivor

Beautiful little walk! Saw sea lions swimming in the wharf!

ingus White

Calm

Marc Rivard

I love this breakwater! Such a great place to start your day. Head out with a warm beverage and enjoy while sitting at the foot of the lighthouse, well that's my recommendation anyway.

Vlad C.

Lovely place to go far a walk or a jog.

Carrie Lorencz

Beautiful walk, great sunsets

Live The Dream

There seems to be a very spiritual sense about this location.

Luke Forcey

On a clear night, the views from this viewpoint allow you to see the stars as far as the eye can see. An perfect spot for watching the sun rise or set.

Scott Conder

Very beautiful and peaceful here

Dean Rippee

Nice walk for a nice afternoon stroll.

Tom Jacklin

Nice quick walk

Samuel Ragot

Superb view. A very nice walk.

Tere Arboleda

It was a beautiful walk even though it was dark when we got to the lighthouse. We saw some sea lions. We started our walk from the Parliament to Beacon Hill, then straight to the Breakwater Lighthouse. It was a long walk with my kids, but the views and the route were scenic. We did not find it very tiring at all. So we will be back here again, but we will try to be early when there is light. However, the views during the night made us see beautiful lights decorations during this winter holiday.

Mary L Scaia

In any weather the walk along the Ogden Point breakwater is interesting. In the summer it is a nice romantic walk; in the winter storms it can very very exciting; anytime you can watch the harbour traffic come and go, from float planes landing, to massive cruise ships, or interesting sail boats too.

tony hollohan

Nice walk. We saw 2 seals on our walk.

ryan

I'm a little biased, I've walked this every week for almost 2 years, beautiful anytime a day and different in all kinds of weather, definitely worth a little walk and a warm coffee on a fall day ;)

Bill Thompson

Great spot for a sunny afternoon walk

Mike Berkley

Cold February walk on the breakwater, but beautiful.

peter Forrest

Awesome to take the family on a walk coffee house/restraunt right there been coming here a long time great spot to check out

Edward Macdonald

A beautiful walk.

JAMie

Unreal sunsets!! Must see!

Ren

Beautiful views of the Olympic mountains, and a good place to try for seeing some local wildlife, like a family of seals.

Nicole “GamerXxPrincess” Forbes

Great place to walk and get a great view of the ocean

Neil “Papa Bambam” Bamford

A nice walk if you have a short time in the Port of Victoria. You can walk along the top of the breakwater which is paved and nice. If you want a bit of adventure you can walk down below at the water level.

himanshu bhati

Amazing view and peaceful place for a walk

Ralf Wolski

Very scenic walk with fantastic views. The smell of the ocean makes the experience that more surreal.

Debashis Sahoo

Scenic view and very good for lazy evening walk..

Nick Karanasos

Beautiful view and sunset

Minal C.

scenic , near the ocean, very pleasant

Arnold Yu

A very perfect place for a walk

Allan Miller

Don't hesitate to walk out to the end of the Breakwater at Ogden Point. It gives you a completely different view of the harbour entry. You can see a lot of marine activity and float planes taking off and landing. The Breakwater is safe for children and accessible to wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and walkers since the installation of attractive railings a few years ago. Accessible washroom in the Breakwater Café. Disabled parking on Dallas Road out front and in the parking lot behind the Breakwater Café.

Blair Norton

On a sunny day this is a beautiful walk. There usually lots of wind, but that is to be expected seen as you are at sea level and in the open. It is a safe walk for families as the have a safety wired fence all the way to the point. You sit at the end and watch the float planes take off and land.

GWoo

Excellent walk out to the end of the breakwater. From here there are great photo opportunities of the harbour.

Matthew D. Hudson

Everyone who goes to Victoria needs to walk out to the Breakwater Lighthouse! We ventured out on a very windy day and experienced the high surf against the barrier wall. You get a fantastic view of the shore from the lighthouse and it's great exercise to get out there because of how long the walkway is from the shore.

Mohammad Awlad Hossain

Nice place to see the sunset

Eric Jacques (griffondude)

Really nice walk. Great view.

Alex Vozian

Great place for a walk or run. Gorgeous sunrises, particularly in fall and winter.

Chris Allen

Was whale watching, sea life thriving, currents, just beautiful nature!

Saravana Moorthy

Love this long walk to Ogden Breakwater Lighthouse.. watched the otter feasting small fishes too. Beautiful British Columbia ????❤

Sheri Disney

It's a beautiful walk for the family

Jeff “tire iron” Remillard

Small was expecting a larger one

Leah B

I saw this lighthouse as the Norwegian Bliss docked nearby for a port of call. It’s very cute but you do not need to spend too much time here. If you are a Pokémon Go player this is a gym location

Abhishek Kalia

Beautiful place for a walk in the evening!

Garth Salon

It has that historic feel.

PETER LI

Good places to go

Alex Plonka

Great place for a walk.

Cindy Andrie (MsCinderella)

Great place to walk and talk

Rissa Tsang

Great for a run or a bit of seal watching! There are stairs leading off the pier to the rocks below if you'd like to get to water level.

Michael Humann

Very nice walk. Very windy.

Kevin Kuo

It's a lighthouse at the end of the breakwater. There's tons of benches for you to sit, relax, and enjoy the view after the walk. All that's missing us a free massage booth to top it all off. As the good citizens of Victoria we are, we should get the city to implement that. At least our tax dollars will go to something that's practical. Hahahaha!

Robin de Bruin

A small lighthouse at the end of the Breakwater peer. From here you can see waterplanes and helicopters pass by to and from the harbor. You most likely are going to have a good look at multiple cruiseschips as well. Although the path towards the lighthouse is flat, it's rather long.

wcresponder

Nice place to explore.

Gary Medina

Nice little lighthouse on pier in Victoria, BC.

Lorraine Rafuse

Beautiful place beautiful walk a must see !

Hans B

Nice walk to the lighthouse. Good to see the new railings are there.

Sandra M

Very relaxing, beautiful zen Spot

Emmeyekayeee Kay

I was enjoying a wonderful day with my children, and we just hit a lull in the activity. We happened upon this structure and thought I might be a way to kill time. I don't know how it happened, or why it happened.....but our time therr turned out to be probably one of the most bonding experiences we've ever had. I guess this place will have a special spot in my heart because of what it did for us.

Tobias Nack

More a beacon than a lighthouse. Not worth it to be honest!

Bjarne Rossum

Amazing for a great walk!

Steven N

Parking might be difficult to find depending on the time but a must see if you're in the area. Apparently this is a good fishing spot as well!

Aaron Rodd

Great place for a evening stroll.

Mary Nelson

Excellent walk near Downtown Victoria

Terry Cunningham

Great little walk out to the end of the breakwater,not much of a lighthouse lol

Nice place to walk and sit and watch the ocean

Mathieu Warnet-Pelletier

Its always there sunny or rainy

Jamie W

Definitely worth to go!! Breakwater is one of my favourite place in Victoria. Do go watch sunrise and sunset, they are stunning

Aierken Kaisa

My favorite place in Victoria. Very nice for taking a walk.

Damitan Dabiri

We went on a cloudy day but even then, the view was still mystifying. We were also REALLY lucky to catch a family of Orcas in the water. The walk was cool and refreshing; nothing quite beats getting a face full of ocean breeze while taking in the sky. The lighthouse itself isn't magnificent or spectacular but it was obvious it had been there for a while and that added the ambience of this experience. All in all, a great afternoon.

Blair Glowasky

Great place to fish.

Jason Wyse

Great location to view the ocean and boats in the area. Go there

Patrick Champagne

Really great place. Watch your step on a windy day. Walking on the rocks you can see all the clams and the barnacles stuck on the rocks.

D K

Well kept lighthouse.

Karl Nordstrom

A great friendly walk

Aaron Richardson

Absolutely beautiful. I'm from Ontario and this was my first time visiting the Island and seeing the Pacific Ocean. So excited to come back. This is a must see in Victoria.

John Curran

Always a nice "hand holding" walk

Steven Benjamin

Shirt walk out to the end of the break point. Would provide amazing sunset pictures if you catch the timing just right.

Tony G

Was better without the handrails.

Savard Francis

So Nice tosee

David Johnson

Love this place so relaxing and peaceful

r r

really a masterpiece imagine walking for 30 minutes straight into the deep ocean....

A pacific maritime 100 year old icon. Take a walk out to the end of the breakwater and feel the wind fill your lungs with the fresh scent of the wild Pacific Ocean.

A very cool 1.5km concrete wall walk that leads to the breakwater lighthouse. Lovely view of the sunset.

Rick

Awesome place for a walk...unless it is windy.

Looking for a sightseeing point? This is it. Plenty of room to wander, local fishermen catching daily fish, and handicap friendly.

Beautiful walk to the Tower....

I walk the breakwater sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. It's a good, safe walk that is about 3/4 of a kilometre. Takes about 9 - 10 minutes each way. It's never the same walk twice. Great place to take pictures, there's always something happening. A couple of times I've been at the lighthouse when Orcas were swimming nearby. There are 8 or 9 benches to sit and contemplate the beauty.

The breakwater is one of my favourite places in Victoria. For someone from Alberta its really neat to be able to walk out this far onto the ocean.

Nice walk and views!

Nice walk down to the lighthouse. You can scuba, snorkel and get close to the water. People fish at the end of the peer. Best time to go is sunset for the scenic view. Con: No public washroom

Great short walk the end of the breakwater, can be windy and cold so dress accordingly. Good birding possible, also sea life (we've seen seals, octopus and whales).

I love Vancouver island

It's a breathtaking view while you're walking on the bridge. I love that there are stairs going down where you can walk right beside the ocean at just a little bit of height and see the waves.

You can walk along the edge of the breakwater and put your feet in the ocean and watch the ships go by.

Great views - nice to take pics of the lighthouse after walking on the Breakwater - glad to have the rails there for safety (wheelchair accessible)! Breakwater Cafe (Ogden Point) at the entrance to the Breakwater has great food - fish and chips were some of the best I've ever had! Wonderful service. Views are wonderful. Following COVID protocols very well!
