Ogden Point Breakwater (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) #Vlog 10
Hi, viewers welcome to my channel. My today's video is on Ogden point. It is the cruise port of Victoria, BC.
History - Ogden Point was named after Peter Skene Ogden (1793 – 1854), a fur trader and explorer employed by the Hudson Bay Company. Roughly 10,000 granite blocks, weighing together over a million tons, were quarried at Hardy Island and shipped to Victoria for use in the breakwater. Completed in 1916, Ogden Point Breakwater was marked the following year by a square, white pyramidal concrete tower that displayed an occulting white light at a height of forty feet above high water. Messrs. Parfitt Brothers erected the tower at a contract price of $1,655, and an unwatched acetylene beacon originally provided the light. Over the years, the piers at Ogden Point, which were serviced by railway at one time, have been home to a grain terminal, a fish processing and cold storage plant, and a ferry terminal. Various lumber companies also shipped their goods from the piers. Today, a heliport and horse-drawn carriages operate from the piers, but the most visible customers are the mammoth cruise ships that regularly call at the port during the summer months. Cruise ships log over 200 visits to Ogden Point each year, bringing over 400,000 visitors to picturesque Victoria.
Direction - Take Highway 1 (Douglas Street) to downtown Victoria and continue past the harbor area until Douglas Street ends. Turn right onto Dallas Road and drive 1.4 km (0.9 miles) where you will see the cruise ship terminal and where you can park and walk the breakwater out to the light.

Walking at Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria British Columbia
Absolutely stunning pier that takes about 30 to 35 minutes to walk to the end and back. The view is stunning and there's an option to walk along the stones of the breakwater and enjoy some First Nations murals. Today there was a big ship docked and it's really big. Great place to watch cruise ships from May-September. Very busy pier when cruise ships are in. Nice little lighthouse and some benches at the end. Spotted some crabs and sea lions too. There's a busy cafe there as well beside a small beach. Great family friendly area. Suitable for children and dogs. Wheelchair accessible.

Ogden Point Breakwater Morning Run In Victoria, B.C. Canada .
My beautiful morning run in Victoria, B.C. It's about a mile walk out to the lighthouse and back to shore.
