Over the weekend, I walked from my house the Tovey Bay in View Royal. Tovey Bay is a small beach of off Tovey Crescent, hidden between houses. It is a small beach, and when the tide is in, the beach is practically non-existent.
The beach is at the bottom of a long staircase, therefore it is not easily accessible for those who are not able to use stairs.
When the tide is out, It is a lovely beach to go to in the summer to lounge and even swim in the ocean. It is still pretty cold, but is a nice bay to do so in.
The walk itself is nothing extraordinary as you are walking through a residential area, so if you do have a dog, they would have to stay on the leash. However, once you have arrived at the beach, it makes it worth it.
My dog Koko is a big fan of this beach, and loves the run around in the water and explore the bushes.
For those who cannot use the stairs, there is a bench at the top so that you can still see the beauty of the beach without having the use the stairs.
Below I have added the directions to Tovey Bay from UVIC.
