A busy, but enjoyable anchorage. Despite being open to the southeast, it is fairly well protected on the southwest side. When approaching your anchorage, beware of paddleboarders, swimmers, and kayakers. Ashore, a short walk (less than two hundred metres) brings you to a somewhat pricey grocery store, a pharmacy, frequent bus service to downtown Victoria or UVIC on the 11, several restaurants, coffee shops, a pet supply store - you name it, it's here... for a price. On summer nights, the beach can be a bit of a party spot, and leaving your dinghy is not advisable. Beware of the extensive mud tidal flats at low tide.

While Oak Bay is slow to catch on to making roads safe for cyclists, the area is scenic, for a ride and ten minutes of cycling will get you to Home Depot and Thrifty Foods.
-
Right off the beach is a grocer, pharmacy, coffee shop, pet supply store, thai restaurant (highly recommended), and bus access to downtown. A short bus ride of bike ride away are better groceries.

Gyro Park at Cadboro Bay is one of Victoria's most popular beaches.
-
The roads around Gyro Park lackc sidewalks, but Mystic Vale at UVIC and Teleggraph Cove are both under a kilometre from the beach.
