Lovely seaside community with a few touristy things but more of a residential community. We travel there often and always enjoy walking around town and on the waterfront

The breakfast was amazing. I felt like a king.

We were en route to Salt Spring Island so this was a short visit. However, Sidney is a really pleasant surprise. We ate at a Japanese restaurant and then splurged on a cheese-tasting at The Farmer's Daughter - it was terrific.

Most convenient to ferries to the gulf islands

Beautiful place to home-base for an exploration of Vancouver Island. Close to everything around Victoria, and a little more quiet than staying directly in Victoria.
