Sidney by the Sea is just 25 minutes north of Victoria  BC.  It is a beautiful community with much to do and see.  There are some great places to eat and many attractions in Sidney and in the surrounding community.  You are only minutes away from Butchart Gardens and Butterfly World and a whole lot more.  The waterfront is spectacular and on clear days you can see Mount Baker in Washington State.  Must sees are the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, the Sidney Bakery, the bookstores (and there are many), the fishing pier, glass beach, the wharf/dock, the marina, and the great walks along the waterfront.  Enjoy.  For more pictures visit our Facebook site.
