Ross Bay Pebbles Beach

If you're looking for a beach close to the city but don't want to deal with the crowds, Ross Bay is the place to go. The Dallas Road Waterfront Trail offers excellent walking opportunities and stunning views of the Juan de Fuca Strait, particularly on a windy, stormy day when the crashing waves may be mesmerizing.

With all the dangerous waves and ominous rocks, it's not a good place to swim. That makes it a bad spot to spend the day with the family, but an excellent place to go for long, contemplative walks away from the distractions of everyday life. Ross Bay provides a possibility to take a break for a while and get in touch with nature. There aren't many amenities at Ross Bay Pebbles Beach, only a small set of washrooms across the road from Ross Bay Cemetery.
