Take advantage of the walkability of this area to savour ocean views and lovely beaches, and reach nearby destinations like the Inner Harbour, Empress Hotel, and Parliament directly across the road, where you can watch seaplanes land and take off, harbor ferries, and the hustle and bustle of the harbour culture. You may even spot local wildlife like river otters, harbour seals or orcas. The charming neighbourhood of James Bay offers shops, galleries, services and eateries. Beacon Hill Park is a nearby 62-acre green space, featuring festivals, plenty of accessible trails, a band pavilion, children’s farm and beautiful grounds.
