In summer this place is crowded & busy but in early spring, it’s delightfully quiet. There are a few evening eateries close by & a wine shop 3 streets away so no issues with finding cooked food. The quaint houseboats are fascinating & staying on one is an interesting experience when the floor moves beneath your feet or is that after a few wines? Use the water taxi 🚕 to the main dock for C$7 each - a bargain.

If you enjoy the view of colourful floating homes, pleasure boats and the skyline of Vic West across the calm waters leading to the Inner Harbour, come here. The Wharf is touristy but during pandemic times, it is not crowded and very pleasant on a sunny day. There are social distancing measures in place like the fellow directing pedestrian traffic on the footbridge so people stay far apart and at least 5 very different eateries there offering take-out. There was also a gift shop open when we were there on the weekend. Plus one washroom available for Wharf patrons. Patrons are encouraged to get their food and go to avoid crowding. On a regular non-pandemic day, I would recommend an hour here max as it is rather small but the walk to here from David Foster Way and the nearby Fisherman's Wharf Park makes the visit worthwhile. Pay parking lot at the Wharf but free street parking a few streets over.

This is a pretty little place to visit. It wasn’t very busy but I can imagine it’s quite crowded in warmer weather. There are several choices for food and there’s a little bit of shopping. The colorful floating homes add to the atmosphere. Worth the visit.
