Cadboro Bay (or Caddy Bay) is a sandy stretch of beach at Gyro Park, a few minutes walk from the University of Victoria. The park features an impressive children’s playground, picnic facilities, public washrooms and a grassy area with shade trees. Park upgrades in 2014 included enhanced accessibility with new pathways, furnishings, ramps, special mats and surface materials. The beach, which is a popular summertime spot for swimming, boating or relaxing on the soft sand, is accessible from a large gravel parking lot at the end of Sinclair Road. Cadboro Bay is also home of the legendary “Cadborosaurus" sea serpent, of which there is a replica in the playground. The park is an easy stroll to Cadboro Bay Village.

The sampling location at Cadboro Bay Beach is on the northeast side of the beach, near a stormwater outlet.
