Such a great place to visit and have coffee but a real terrible shame that they don't let you feed the seals anymore... even if you're cleaning fish or buying bait.

I grew up around it.. things just get more wimpy over time....

Such cute otters though and great sun!

Its a really nice place. There is a small restaurant also to eat and enjoy the boat views. Good to come here with friends who have boats 🚢 coz u need a license to drive boat or someone with a license. 😄😁i had good experience overall. Got to socialize with some strangers and hear the beautiful boating stories of their life.

Oak Bay Marina – Peaceful, Scenic, and Pure West Coast Vibes 🌊⛵

Oak Bay Marina was hands down one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots we visited in Victoria. Whether you’re into boats, nature, or just looking for a chill place to take in the ocean air — this place has it all.

🌅 The View? Unreal.
Picture calm blue waters, sailboats rocking gently in the bay, and Mount Baker glowing in the distance. It’s the kind of view that makes you just stop, breathe, and smile. Whether you’re catching sunrise or watching the sunset colors paint the sky, Oak Bay delivers pure magic.

🛥️ The Marina Itself? Clean & Classy.
Everything was well-maintained and organized — docks were spotless, boats were gorgeous, and the whole space just felt upscale but welcoming. You can walk along the water, sit on benches, and watch the harbor seals swim by (yes, we saw a few — adorable!).

🐟 The Sea Life? A Bonus Treat.
We were lucky enough to see harbor seals popping up near the docks! There’s even a designated seal viewing area — super cute and perfect for kids, couples, or anyone who just wants to connect with nature.

🍽️ Food? Yes, please.
The Marina Restaurant right on site serves delicious local seafood and wine — the perfect spot for a post-walk lunch or romantic dinner with a view. Highly recommend grabbing a bite while watching the boats come and go.

🚶‍♀️ Walkability & Chill Factor? 100%.
There are paths along the shoreline, calm corners to relax, and spots to grab coffee or ice cream nearby. It’s a great place to unwind, take photos, or just get lost in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

⸻

Final Word?
Oak Bay Marina is more than just a marina — it’s a peaceful escape, a perfect photo op, and a must-visit destination in Victoria. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this place will melt your stress away.

A total gem on the island — highly recommend it for families, couples, solo travelers, or anyone who loves the ocean. 🌊✨

I have to say, we have never stayed here but had planned on it as we have heard wonderful things. We scheduled a trip and had booked nights at the marina with other boaters. Unfortunately we ended up having issues with our engines that caused us to miss the entire trip due to repairs. Upon contacting the marina they advised that we would have to still pay the fees as they did not get 7 days notice for cancellation. I wish we could have, but the engine failure did not happen 7 days prior and was completely out of our control. They were not understanding and seemed to not care. Other marina's did understand and some did charge a minimal fee for the cancellation; however Oak Bay charged the entire fee.
Im sure that they will be able to fill the slip we would have had, and be able to double down on the cost.

Based on the lack of understanding this will be one marina that we will never go too, and will not recommend this marina.
We do understand some fee's for cancellations but being charged the full amount for circumstances that are out of our control seems inappropriate.

Sadly has deteriorated over the last 30 years. Good place for moorage but the fine dining restaurant no longer operational. The eatery, though, offers food and beverages on a beautiful patio deck overlooking the docks.
There is a lot of potential here and the overgrown parking lot often hosts community events. Sadly, the Oak Bay Marina is only a shadow of its former self.
