Central Saanich Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
This anchorage sits in the Saanich Peninsula, tucking you into one of the calmer stretches of southern Vancouver Island's inland waters. The setting is quietly rural, with Central Saanich's farmland and low-key coastal character just ashore — a refreshing contrast to the busier Victoria waterfront nearby. It's a solid hook-down spot if you're exploring the Gulf Islands corridor or staging for a run through Haro Strait.
