A great stay in James Bay! It’s a short or scenic walk to anywhere and everywhere. Ogden Point, Fisherman’s Wharf, Beacon Hill Park, and the downtown harbourfront; the Breakwater Bistro (breakwaterbistro.ca) or Floyd’s Diner for scrumptious breakfasts, James Bay Books (www.jamesbaycoffeeandbooks.com) for the afternoon lull, and Cup of Joe (cupofjoevictoria.com) for a delicious evening of munchies and music! (The mandocello virtuoso Dustan Townsend — aka Fish in a Birdcage (www.fishinabirdcage.com) — was an amazing treat!) And also very handy is the 24-hour Thrifty Foods for things you forgot to pack. Ann and Michael are very helpful, they respond immediately to every call, and I felt very welcome in their lovely home.
