For a quintessential Victoria, B.C. outing, stop by Willows Galley Fish & Chips in charming Estevan Village, then wander down to Willows Beach with a crispy takeaway in hand. It's a seaside ritual that is special in any season, but in summer, when the beach is bright, the breeze is warm, and lunch turns into a picnic by the water, it's especially hard to beat.

Willows Galley Fish & Chips is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m.
