Where to Spark Up in Victoria, BC: A Local’s Guide to the Best Sesh Spots

The Perfect Beachfront Sunset Sesh: Esquimalt Lagoon

Victoria has its share of beaches, but Esquimalt Lagoon is on another level. The second you step onto the sand, the city noise fades away. The only sounds? Waves rolling in. Gulls overhead. Maybe some driftwood crackling in a makeshift beach fire. This isn’t a place you stumble into—it’s one you seek out, and that’s what makes it such a perfect sesh spot.

The best time to come? Right before sunset. Light up a little G-Wagon and sink into the view as the sky does that thing where it turns pink, orange, and purple all at once. You don’t need music here—the ocean’s got you covered.

👉 Getting there: A 15-minute drive from VCC Farmgate or take the #14 bus and walk the last stretch

Urban Mysticism: Moss Lady at Beacon Hill Park

Beacon Hill Park is an obvious sesh spot, but if you wander a little deeper, past the ponds and winding paths, you’ll find Moss Lady. Picture a massive sleeping woman, covered entirely in moss and greenery, curled up beneath the trees. She looks like she’s been there forever, like the earth just decided to create her one day. If there’s a more peaceful place to enjoy a quiet sesh in Victoria, we haven’t found it.

This spot is perfect for some After Eighth —a hybrid that lets you sink into the stillness but stay engaged enough to appreciate all the tiny details. Maybe the way the light filters through the branches or the way the wind moves the leaves. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just pass through—you experience it.

Sesh with a Side of Adventure: Cormorant Point

If you prefer a rocky coastline over sandy beaches, Cormorant Point is the place. It’s a bit out of the way, which means fewer people and more space to just be. From here, you can see the distant mountains on a clear day, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot an eagle or two. This is a spot for Pomelo Skunk —a bright, citrusy sativa that matches the energy of the waves crashing against the rocks. Take a deep breath. Let the salty air mix with the terpene-rich smoke. Feel the wind in your hair.

👉 Getting there: A 10-minute drive from VCC Farmgate or take the #10 bus toward James Bay

Hidden Gem Alert: Spring Ridge Commons

This one’s for the garden lovers. Tucked away in the heart of Fernwood, Spring Ridge Commons is part permaculture project, part community sanctuary. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—a maze of overgrown pathways, edible plants, and quiet corners where you can just sit and exist.

This is an afternoon sesh spot. You want to feel the warmth of the sun filtering through the trees, hear the hum of bees working through the flowers. A couple of puffs of Rainbow Marker and suddenly, everything feels just a little more alive.

👉 Getting there: A 10-minute drive or a 25-minute walk from VCC Farmgate.

Elevated Views: Summit Park

Summit Park isn’t the most well-known spot in Victoria, and that’s what makes it great. It’s a short but satisfying walk to the top, where you get 360-degree views of the city and beyond. The space is wide open, the sky feels closer, and when that golden hour hits? It’s unreal. This is a G-Wagon kind of spot. Something heavy, something grounding. Take a hit, find a spot to sit, and just watch the city change with the light.

Put Your Brain to the Test: Victoria Escape Games

Ever wondered how you’d handle a prison break? A haunted house? A high-stakes heist? At Victoria Escape Games, you don’t have to wonder—you get to live it. This spot is home to some of the most creative, mind-bending escape rooms in the city, making it a perfect sesh activity for anyone who loves a little mystery.

Now, let’s be clear: you don’t want to show up too baked—you still need to be able to solve puzzles and think fast. But a few puffs of Pomelo Skunk will give you just the right boost of creative problem-solving energy to connect the dots, work with your crew, and—hopefully—make it out before time runs out.

Laid-Back Game Night or Afternoon: Interactivity Board Game Café

Sometimes, the best sesh isn’t about getting lost in nature—it’s about getting lost in a game. Interactivity Board Game Café is a downtown staple, stocked with over 800 board games (yes, seriously), comfy seating, and some of the best hot chocolate in town. Whether you’re into strategy games, quick party games, or deep-cut RPGs, this is the kind of place where you can spend hours without realizing it.

A sesh with Caribbean Breeze is the way to go here—mellow enough to keep you relaxed, but balanced enough to keep you engaged in the game. The only downside? Trying to remember the rules after a few hits. But hey, that’s what the friendly staff are for.

Feel Like a Giant At Miniature World

There’s something about Miniature World that just hits differently when you’re high. This place is weird in the best way possible—dozens of incredibly detailed tiny worlds, from old-school circus scenes to historic battlefields to full-on futuristic cities. You can spend hours just getting lost in the details!

For this one? After Eighth. Take a few deep pulls, step into a world that’s one hundred times smaller than you, and let your imagination do the rest. Whether you’re staring at the tiny trains moving through an intricate cityscape or marveling at the teeny-tiny knights locked in battle, Miniature World makes you feel like a kid again. And that’s exactly the kind of sesh that sticks with you.
