You only need to rent the car for a day and it is easy to drive if you are used to the opposite side of the road like us. Stunning drive and so many places to stop that a bus tour won't do it justice.

There are 2 kinds of people on this drive: tourists & locals. If you're a tourist, remember that everyone is there for the same reason. You may be stuck behind a big tour bus that slows down for commentary that you can't hear. No, you can't pass them. You'll probably turn off soon anyway, if they don't turn off first....

The view is amazing! Drive towards Oak Bay Marina then follow the "scenic drive" sign, follow that loop and you'll end up in Fshermans Wharf.

Whether walking or by car, the Victoria waterfront from Ogden Point to Oak Bay is a must do...on the tree-lined streets of Uplands , Executive homes are a standout.

The scenery was beautiful but not as striking as our trip on the Sea to Ky Highway north of Vancouver. We had difficulty finding the road. It would end and then randomly pick up with poor signage. The coastline was rugged with beaches covered in tree limbs . Signs indicated the tree limbs had been placed there to prevent beach...

Great drive hugging the coastline. Go slow and pull off to let the residents pass. Wonderful drive through neighbourhoods, good ocean views with some pullouts and beach access. We even stopped at a garage sale at an Oceanside home - breathtaking - and we would have missed it otherwise. The closer you get to Victoria, the older the homes. Very...
