Dallas Road & Clover Point
3873 Swan Lake Rd.Clover Point is a scenic promontory and popular recreational area located in Victoria, British Columbia, along the coastline of the Juan de Fuca Strait. This distinctive headland extends into the ocean, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State across the water, as well as the coastline stretching toward downtown Victoria.
The area is a beloved spot for outdoor activities, particularly for kite flying due to its reliable winds. Visitors and locals alike enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling along the waterfront pathway that connects Clover Point to other sections of Victoria's extensive Dallas Road waterfront trail system. It's also a popular spot for wildlife watching, as you can often see seals, sea lions, and various seabirds from this vantage point.
In recent years, Clover Point underwent renovations to make it more pedestrian-friendly, with improved seating areas and reduced vehicle access. The point has historical significance too, having served as a rifle range in the late 19th century and later as a strategic lookout point during World War II.
Throughout the seasons, Clover Point attracts photographers, storm-watchers during winter weather events, and people simply seeking to enjoy one of Victoria's most accessible and beautiful coastal landscapes.
