The Oak Bay Marina has something for everyone. Resident seals are there to entertain visitors with their clapping and spinning (be warned, they really only like the fish you can buy at the marina). There's a coffee shop with a beautiful patio overlooking the water, serving lunch or snack items, as well as ice cream. They also have a gorgeous restaurant where you can take in stunning views of the bay, and all of the boating activity.

Red Barn is a little pricey for general groceries, but they have a great selection of island raised meats, delicious sandwiches made to order, great local produce, and our two faves: ice cream by the scoop, and a wide and varied selection of kombucha.
