Victoria Harbour Authority — Causeway Docks
About
The Inner Harbour at Victoria, BC is one of the most spectacular urban anchorages on the Pacific Coast — floatplanes landing and departing overhead, the Empress Hotel on the waterfront, and the BC Legislature illuminated at night across the harbour. The Victoria Harbour Authority operates the Causeway docks and Wharf Street docks directly in front of the city centre. For cruising boats, Victoria is a full customs port of entry, a significant provisioning and crew-change stop, and a genuinely world-class destination city that rewards time ashore.

Anchoring in Pacific Northwest Waters
Twelve-foot tides, four-knot current in the passes, kelp on every shoreline, and a wind that can shift through three quadrants while you sleep. PNW anchoring is its own discipline.
