The Oak Bay Marina, the Marina Restaurant, and Dockside Eatery are located at Turkey Head Point. Prior to its closing in 1991, an aquarian called Sealand of the Pacific was the main attraction at Turkey Head Point. All that remains today is a statue of an orca as a part of the Oak Bay Marina welcome sign.
The walkway at Turkey Head Point starts at Beach Drive and continues around the outside of the Oak Bay Marina parking lot, finishing at the restaurant. It provides numerous benches to enjoy the magnificent views of the ocean, mountains, boats and Mary Tod Island.
Dog Information:
Dogs are not allowed in this walkway.
