Dallas Road Waterfront & Ogden Point Breakwater
Dallas Road / Ogden Point
A clifftop coastal trail and an 800-metre granite breakwater looking across the water to the Olympic Mountains in the United States, a favourite walking spot for locals and their dogs.
The Dallas Road coastal trail runs from Ogden Point to Ross Bay. Below the cliffs are pebble beaches and driftwood, and across the Juan de Fuca Strait you can see the snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. The Ogden Point breakwater is about 800 m long and was built in 1917 from huge granite blocks. You can walk all the way to the small lighthouse at its end, and its deck features Indigenous murals. Alongside the breakwater are the cruise ship terminal and dive sites. The trail has many benches, ideal for sunset walks, but bring warm layers when it's windy. Admission is free.
