Race Rocks Lighthouse

Located appoximately one nautical mile from Rocky Point, the southern most tip of Vancouver Island, Race Rocks is the most southerly part of Canada on the Pacific Coast.

Since 1860 the lighthouse at Race Rocks has shone, without interruption. For many years it was manned by a succession of dedicated lightkeepers, who tended the light as a vital aid to navigation for ships transiting the Strait of Juan de Fuca, bound for the ports of Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle and the inside passage.

The lighthouse was eventually automated in 1997.

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at the Birds of a Feather. We enjoyed all that this area had to offer, from the beautiful sunrise, the abundant wildlife and amazing scenery, the lazy sunsets. The advice that Dieter gave us was invaluable. Had we not taken this advice we would have missed a most exciting whale watching trip. We were lucky enough to encounter a super pod. Everywhere you looked, you saw whales performing all sorts of acrobatics. It was perfect. The gardens at Hatley Castle also provided us with photo opportunities. We saw peacock families as well as hummingbirds. Well worth a visit. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
