This alternative route down the Saanich Peninsula from
the Swartz Bay ferry terminal to Victoria beats the boring Pat Bay Hwy (Hwy
17) hands down. Starting in the flat, agricultural northern part of the
peninsula, it kisses the seashore before moving inland through mixed fields
and forests to solidly treed south Saanich. Although straightish at the
start, the road gets curvier the closer you get to Victoria. Unfortunately,
there’s also a lot of suburban traffic out here, and the nearer you get to
Victoria the heavier it gets. Still, it's a sweetly engineered road
with great pavement and varied scenery. Not convinced? Try the freeway drone
next door and you will be.
