Sooke cottage vacation rental cabins
When it comes to accommodations, Sooke is different -- very different, in fact. You just can't call central reservations for a major hotel chain such as Best Western and book a room in Sooke. There aren't any major (or minor, for that matter) hotel chains. But there are more than 80 bed-and-breakfasts in the area, along with cottages and cabins. To get a better feel for Sooke's harbor environment, take a walk along the part-man-made, part-natural milelong Whiffen Spit Park, almost to the end where you can look back and see just how protected the little harbor is from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It's a flat, pleasurable walk and late in the evening sea otters often frolic in the kelp beds just off shore. Close to town is the popular recreation area called the Sooke Potholes, a series of deep pools carved out of rock formations by the erosion forces of the Sooke River as it cascades from the foothills and into the harbor. The pools are all public and function as swimming holes during the summer.
