Several Scenic Sooke Sights

 This is the lighthouse which is at Race Rocks. You can see Victoria from the Rocks. This is also where all the elephant seals were at. We are going to dive this in the future. While we were there the visibility was great just from the boat but the current was coming through plenty fast. Race Rocks is known for its fast currents and many wrecks. The lighthouse is built entirely in Scotland and then brought over as boat ballast and reconstructed on location.

 All along the coast road through Sooke and for some time after it there are lengths of beaches. You can walk along them for kilometres. Often there are neat deadheads and driftwood that have been tossed up. There is plenty of property along them but the beaches themselves are all public. This is the environs of Gordons Beach.

 This is the view from the B&B we stayed at called Gordon's Beach. It was just up the hill and had a great view of the water and the open sky at night. It was a reasonably priced place to stay and our room while on the ground floor was still lovelty. We can recommend it.  It is just past Sooke in Otter Point. On the grounds we saw California Quail.
