Cadboro Bay

Cadboro Bay sits east of the University of Victoria and south of Queenswood, extending from the village and beach toward the Ten Mile Point side of the bay. Cadboro Bay Road is the principal local connection toward Oak Bay and central Victoria.

Yes, especially near the village. Cadboro-Gyro Park is just down from the shops. If you’re looking farther up the hill, walk the route both ways before deciding how often you’d make the trip on foot.

Try the route from the address to the groceries or pharmacy you would use and then on to the beach. The return climb and the quality of the crossings tell you more than the distance on a map.

Cadboro-Gyro Park includes a playground, beach and non-motorized boat access. Consult Saanich’s current park information for facilities, accessibility, seasonal arrangements and conditions before planning a visit.

Check the District’s park information for the playground and access options. If you plan to launch a kayak or other small craft, confirm what is permitted and how far you would carry it from your parking spot.

Confirm the site’s drainage, shoreline or flood considerations, insurance and permit history. Beach proximity does not guarantee a view, legal private access or permission for shoreline structures. Compare the specific site with similar properties.

Look at the lot after rain if possible and ask about drainage, past work and insurance. If a home is marketed with shoreline rights or structures, verify those separately from its proximity to the public park.
