Check out photos of Gowlland Todd Provincial Park in Saanich, BC (http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/gowlland_tod/), a beautiful day hike only 30 mins. from Victoria, BC in this album on Picasa: https://picasaweb.google.com/112857226317189416164/GowllandTodProvincialParkVictoriaBCMay22011?feat=directlink
For the more adventurous, check out Botanical Beach at Juan de Fuca Marine Park in Port Renfrew (http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/juan_de_fuca/), a couple of hours drive from Victoria along the west coast of Vancouver Island. From the parking lot to the beach is only 30 mins. but you can follow the Juan de Fuca Marine trail for up to 47 kms and camp along the shoreline if you are up for it. This is where I met my black bear on a rocky point - just me, him and the ocean! I backed away and he wasn't aggressive, so all's well that end's well!
For a few photos of Botanical Beach and one hastily taken one of a black bear check out the album on Picasa at: https://picasaweb.google.com/112857226317189416164/BotanicalBeachMay2011?feat=directlink
