Royal Roads Bay is a sheltered inlet at the entrance to Esquimalt Harbour, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the southern coast of Vancouver Island. It was once an important anchorage for ships in the late 1700s, and today its calm waters, surrounded by forested headlands, beaches, and views of the Olympic Mountains, make it a picturesque stretch of coastline rich in both maritime history and natural beauty.
