Victoria, Capital RD
Gonzales Beach is a sandy beach located in a quiet residential neighbourhood in Victoria. Sheltered within Gonzales Bay, it is known for its soft sand, calm waters, and open views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Olympic Mountains.
The beach features a spacious sandy shoreline that is perfect for launching paddleboards and kayaks, and its gentle waves are ideal for a peaceful paddle. Unlike many beaches around Victoria, which are mostly rocky, Gonzales Beach has a wide natural sand area that becomes even larger during low tide.
Because the beach faces south, it receives sunlight for most of the day and is known locally as one of the warmest beaches in Victoria during summer.
The main access point is located just off Crescent Road where you'll find a small parking area, but there are two more access points towards the west side of the beach at the dead end of Foul Bay Rd or Irving Rd.
Parking: A small public parking area is available at the beach entrance off Crescent Road.
Dog-Friendly: Dogs are not permitted on the beach at all from June 1 to August 31.
Facilities: Washrooms.
