Fenn Road Beach lies in the District of Saanich one of thirteen areas that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This small parkland lies along the shores of Cordova Bay in Saanich, BC and overlooks Haro Strait part of the Salish Sea. This small beach is between Sayward Beach and Cordova Bay Beach. Not a sandy beach, Fenn Road Beach is gravel and bedrock. Access is along a pathway that leads to a fifty-step staircase to reach this beach. It’s a beautiful place for sunrises and bird watching. The staircase is partly concrete and partly wood and views of the ocean can seen as you walk down. The beach is better at low tide and is frequented by snorkelers, paddleboarders too. It is a good place to walk in your backyard.
