Victoria Activities

There are endless activities in and around Victoria.  Close to Wayside and within walking distance, you will find beautiful beaches, a friendly neighbourhood shopping center, and Oak Bay Village with its tea rooms, book store, antique and gift shops.

Downtown Victoria, well known as the Garden City, is a 10 minute drive away. The cityscape includes a very active Inner Harbour, the well-known Fairmont Empress Hotel, the Royal BC Museum, the Provincial Parliament Buildings and interesting shopping experiences.  Bus access to downtown is available within a block of Wayside.  Further afield, but well worth the trip, is the world-renowned Butchart Gardens.  Buses run from downtown Victoria to the Gardens on a regular basis.
