Saxe Point was designated as park land in 1934. During World War 2, many trees on this 7.5 hectare site were cleared and a searchlight was installed as part of the DND’s shoreline defense.
The park provides spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Fine perennial and shrub borders and a large open lawn area overlook the water. Forested trails and beach accesses are set among mature Douglas fir and Grand fir.
Walk the trails, explore the beaches, or enjoy the views from one of the many benches or picnic tables.
Saxe Point is found at the end of Fraser Street, with foot paths off of Munro and Bewdley streets.
