Climb Mount Douglas: Actually, you don't even have to climb. Just drive up and walk around. The whole of the Saanich Peninsula lies at your feet.
Beachcomb: Just find a beach, preferably a rocky one, and turn stuff over or poke through the tide pools. The best beaches are along Hwy. 14A, starting with East Sooke Regional Park, and moving out to French Beach, China Beach, Mystic Beach, and, the very best of all, Botanical Beach Provincial Park, some 60km (37 miles) away by Port Renfrew. Remember to put the rocks back once you've had a peek.
