Albert Head Lagoon Regional Park in Victoria BC

Albert Head Lagoon Regional Park is located approximately 30 minutes drive from Victoria BC, in the western shore municipality of Metchosin.  This small (7.1 hectares) park is a favourite of birdwatchers as the lagoon attracts local ducks, geese and swans, as well as many varieties of migrating birds.

The largely flat trails meander along a cobble and sandy beach between the freshwater lagoon and the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  You can see a wide variety of birds and perhaps observe them with their young – the lagoon is a wildlife sanctuary for migratory birds.

Bring a picnic to enjoy after your stroll, the beach offers magnificent views of Victoria to the east and the Olympic Peninsula to the south.  Perhaps you’ll spot seals, or if you’re really lucky, a pod of passing orcas!
