Cadboro Bay, British Columbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cadboro Bay is a seaside community in the Canadian province of British Columbia, located in the Municipality of Saanich just to the north of the Municipality of Oak Bay. Cadboro Bay is a cozy neighbourhood nestled between the University of Victoria uphill to the west and some of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Greater Victoria on the other sides: the posh Uplands (Greater Victoria) district to the south, tony Ten Mile Point to the east and the secluded Queenswood neighbourhood to the north. The heart of Cadboro Bay is its charming English style village shopping area.

One of Cadboro Bay's claims to fame is a curving, public sandy beach (situated in Gyro Park) with a concrete octopus and a replica of the sea monster, Cadborosaurus. On that note, Cadboro Bay is the home of the Cadborosaurus, nicknamed Caddy, a mythical sea monster that has supposedly been spotted in the calm waters of Cadboro Bay, the body of water which gives this neighbourhood its name.
