TOP 5 SOOKE ROMANTIC EXPERIENCES
It’s said that couples who play together, stay together. If that’s true, then the rugged wilderness of Vancouver Island is the perfect place to go. Here is our list of top 5 romantic experiences you can enjoy with your loved one.
STORM WATCHING
If you’re visiting during the Winter months, you can enjoy one of Mother Nature’s most mesmerizing shows: thunderous storms that rise when low-pressure systems move northward. SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort is the best place in the region to watch the swells in comfort, with the powerful ocean rising right outside your window. However, if you’re looking to diversify your viewing spots, consider making the drive to Botany Bay, where a 10-minute stroll through the rainforest leads to some of the best storm-watching panoramas anywhere.
FIND A SECLUDED BEACH
The Sooke to Port Renfrew area offers a number of beaches and inlets to explore. These dreamy must-visit beach destinations prove why the west coast is definitely the best coast. We recommend taking a leisurely drive and small hike into to Mystic Beach. This beautiful rocky beach features a small waterfall and is the best bet to soak up some rays and unwind together…Plus, you’ll often find yourselves the only ones there, which is great for some alone time.

GET A MASSAGE
While you’re in Sooke, why not relax with an in-room massage treatment? SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort has partnered with West Coast Wellness to offer guests in-room treatments; as you indulge in your oceanside pampering, you’ll have the opportunity to customize the massage to your unique preferences.
GO FOR A STROLL
Hold hands while strolling along Whiffen Spit. The spits takes you out into the entrance to Sooke Harbour and is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. If you are lucky, you may see a pod of resident orcas or maybe a bald eagle soaring above you.
VISIT TUGWELL CREEK HONEY FARM & MEADERY
Add a little honey to your stay by visiting the Tugwell Creek Honey Farm & Meadery, the first licensed meadery in British Columbia. Here, guests can sample the tantalizing delicacy – historically known as “nectar of the gods” – which is crafted from fermented honey and typically combined with spices or hops. Mead has been consumed for centuries by royalty and peasants alike, and is generally considered the world’s oldest alcoholic beverage.
