Just 45 minutes west of Victoria, Sooke offers untamed coastline, lush forest hikes, and a rugged, relaxed atmosphere. Pack snacks, bring your camera, and spend the day in nature.
Sooke Potholes Provincial Park
Carved into the bedrock by glacial melt, these natural pools are ideal for swimming or a riverside picnic. Shaded forest trails wind above the canyon.
Whiffin Spit
A narrow, 1.2 km walkway that stretches into the ocean, lined with driftwood and seabirds. Perfect for a calm coastal stroll with panoramic views.
East Sooke Regional Park
Over 50 km of rugged hiking trails through rainforest and along rocky bluffs. Take the Aylard Farm entrance for a mix of forest, beach, and viewpoints.
Stickleback Eatery
A casual, waterfront restaurant on Sooke Basin serving west coast comfort food and BC wine. Great for refueling after your hike.
