Nothing's better than chilling out by the water while you're on vacation. Bring a picnic to Elk Lake and then stick around for an impressive sunset.
This body of water in Victoria comes recommended by many travelers, so make sure it features on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more spots waiting for you to check out after Elk Lake. Butchart Gardens, University of Victoria, and Victoria Butterfly Gardens are not far away.
