BEACH INFO:

Also known as Shoal Bay, McNeill Bay was named after Captain William Henry McNeill, captain of the SS Beaver. This bay is the spot where SS Beaver anchored while scouting for a suitable place for Fort Victoria. Along the bay is a beautiful esplanade and along Beach Drive there are plenty of benches to stop and enjoy a nice view of the bay. This beach is also considered one of the great off-leash dog beaches.
