The region of Sooke Harbour takes its name from the T'Sou-ke native people, the first inhabitants of the area. The area's traditional industries have been logging and fishing. Today, tourism has become an important factor in the economy of the region, as increasing numbers of visitors from all over the world discover the south-west beaches and many hiking trails. Sooke offers a number of wonderful Bed & Breakfasts, some of them world renowned. The beaches from Sooke Harbour through the 74 kilometers of coastline road, to Port Renfrew, offer a range or spectacular views. Salmon fishing, surfing, kayaking & whale watching are just some of the many interests to visitors.

With it's slower pace and moderate climate, Sooke is home to a thriving art community. Many home-made crafts are sold throughout the area. The Fine Arts show showcases the artists of the area in a 10 day exhibit of awesome talent held annually.

Sooke is also well known for its abundant trails, awesome fishing and an annual salmon derby held each August.  Check out our calendar for dates of these events.

The start of the "West Coast Trail" is only 1 1/2 hours away, at Port Renfrew.
