Oak Bay Attractions

Seeking art and culture, history, souvenir shopping or recreational pursuits? It’s all waiting in Oak Bay.

For something old and something new, visit the antique stores along Oak Bay Avenue – only a few minutes from Victoria’s Antique Row. Many jewellery stores feature a variety of estate pieces and vintage jewellery and bookstores offer a selection of collectible books along with the latest bestsellers.

For the latest inspirations from BC and Canada’s premier artists, our self-guided gallery tour offers a range of art for all tastes and budgets.

Oak Bay is proud of its colourful past. A number of historic points of interest are located in the region including architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury’s home and the John Tod House. Also located on Oak Bay’s border is the world-famous Abkhazi Garden.

And, if you happen to be enjoying one of Oak Bay’s beaches, be on the lookout for Oak Bay’s biggest attraction – the Cadborosaurus.

And in the winter months, storm-watching is fast becoming another exciting Oak Bay attraction.
