Welcome to the Sooke 2010 website. Enjoy your visit!

Located on the southwestern tip of Vancouver Island, the District of Sooke is a short 35-minute drive from downtown Victoria, British Columbia’s capital city. This picturesque seaside town, nestled among the rugged rainforests and unspoiled beaches of the Pacific Ocean coastline, offers visitors and residents an authentic west coast experience.

Sooke’s moderate, ocean climate delivers warm, dry summers and above freezing winters, which allows for eco-tourism and outdoor activities in each of the four seasons. The list of breathtaking adventures includes year-round freshwater fishing, cycling, scuba diving, hiking, windsurfing, kayaking, whale watching and beachcombing. In addition to the thrilling experiences, Sooke’s astonishing natural beauty and Native American history has bred a large community of artists, artisans and craftspeople. With accommodations ranging from bed and breakfasts to upscale resorts, Sooke offers hospitality services that cater to all visitors.

The quiet community may be close to Vancouver Island’s largest population centre, but it is a world away from the commotion of urban life. Sooke’s adventurous spirit, exquisite culture, and awe-inspiring beauty create an unrivaled experience for visitors, and these attributes are the main reasons why so many are proud to call Sooke home!
