This small neighborhood is located at the southwest tip of Oak Bay and juts out into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. It is bordered by Fairfield and Gonzales Bay to the west, South Oak Bay to the north and the Strait of Juan De Fuca to the south.

The neighborhood is made up of a few hundred single family homes of varying ages.

Notable in this area is the Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point. The cemetery was created in 1903 and was named a national historic site by the Government of Canada in 1996. Many of those buried here are among the first Chinese immigrants to Canada. They came to Canada as cheap laborers to build the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 1800s.

Because of its seaside location, in the last 15 years, many of the little beach cottages that were once found on Harling Point have been replaced by modern luxury homes.

Gonzales boasts three small parks on the ocean and a huge green space with a playground right in the middle of Harling Point.

What We Love

Gonzales beach, one of Victoria’s few sandy beaches, is a hidden jewel in the neighborhood.  Incredible neighborhood feel of Harling Point… So much so that kids leave their toys in Quimper Park for other kids to play with.
