Neighbourhood
Set just behind the BC Legislature Buildings and the Inner Harbour, James Bay is an area where both locals and tourists enjoy strolling along the ocean walkways, exploring the trails and vast gardens of Beacon Hill Park, while marveling at some stunning turn-of-the-century architecture.
The hub of the neighbourhood is James Bay Village, with a liquor store, pharmacy, coffee shops, cafes, bakeries, Thrifty Foods grocery store, banks, and other interesting businesses such as The Bent Mast, a unique pub in a historic Victoria building and the world-famous Floyd’s Diner. For farm fresh organic greens and handmade arts and crafts, check out the vibrant James Bay Market at the corner of Menzies and Superior. It’s part farmer’s market, part flea market featuring work by local crafters. For a unique experience head down to the famous Fisherman’s Wharf, where amongst the houseboats you’ll find a wide variety of seafood vendors.
Getting Around
Victoria is a very walkable city and is best explored on foot! You’re as close to the natural splendor of rugged ocean beaches, amazing hiking and the scenic waterfront as you are to Victoria’s most popular restaurants, the finest in urban shopping and an entertaining variety of diverse cultural activities. Or you can cycle, take a tour bus - there are public transit bus and taxi stops outside the building - or hire a bicycle rickshaw, romantic- horse-drawn carriage, water taxi, or drive yourself – the choice is yours!
