- The Butchart Gardens - World famous and rightly so. You have to go here, or be ready with an answer to the folks back home when they ask, "Surely you went to the Gardens?"
- Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse - Park-like setting with great ocean views. Great nautical and military history, too!

- Fisherman's Wharf - fish, crabs etc for sale + Barb's Fish and Chips. A short walk from the Admiral’s front door. (no specific link to Fisherman’s wharf, just businesses around and in it. Maybe link to a new map page that shows things like this, like Beacon Hill Park, Willows & Caddy Bay beach, etc?)
