The Beacon Inn at Sidney

The Beacon Inn at Sidney is a purpose-built, adult-oriented, 9-room inn that provides elegant, yet reasonably priced and eco-friendly* accommodation with a complimentary gourmét breakfast.**

Sidney by the Sea, is a quaint seaside community that is also known as BookTown for its numerous book stores. It's also home to the new Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, whale watching tours, as well as world-class diving areas. We're also near award-winning wineries and we're only 15 minutes from the world-famous Butchart Gardens and some truly outstanding, local golf courses. And.... we're just a short 20-minute drive to all that beautiful, Victoria, British Columbia has to offer and much, much more.

Conveniently located near the north tip of the Saanich Penisula, we're also a key transportation hub in that we have an excellent public transit system and are within a 10-minute drive to Victoria International Airport, BC Ferries to Vancouver & the Gulf Islands, the Washington State Ferry to the San Juan Islands and Anacortes, and a number of beautiful marinas.

So come discover for yourself why readers of Travel & Leisure Magazine have named Vancouver Island "The Best Island in the Continental U.S. and Canada," and Victoria as the 9th best city.

    * Green Initiatives at The Beacon Inn: we are committed to energy and resource conservation and have established numerous water, energy and waste reduction initiatives throughout the Inn. A few examples of our initiatives are: low water-use toilets and washing machines; using eco-friendly cleaning products and energy-saving lighting; recycling; and composting. We also encourage guests to do their part by.... re-using towels, turning off lights when away from their rooms, and recycling.

    ** Our breakfasts are set-menu servings (meaning that all of our guests receive that morning's breakfast of the day) prepared for two optional seating times which are at 8:00 & 9:15 a.m. We can also prepare for limited dietary restrictions, but we ask that you be sure to advise us of any such restrictions upon check-in or we may not be able to provide an adequate-to-our-standards breakfast for you.
