Visiting Victoria, BC this Spring, we found that a walk along James Bay is a great way to start the morning.

We stayed at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, in a room overlooking the city’s inner harbour. The downtown views are impressive, but it’s also worth turning left when you step out the hotel’s front door and simply following the waterfront. That will take you to James Bay, and these incredible views of the Olympic Mountains, which are situated in the USA.

The local birds also find this a great spot for crabbing, as you’ll see here!
