Savouring Sooke at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort
byIt was one of those gorgeous Pacific Northwest afternoons where the morning rain left every leaf glistening with colour while the sun poked through the clouds and bounced rainbows off Salish Sea. The only thing that took me away from the view at the Sooke Prestige Oceanfront Resort, was the spectacular 1,920-square-foot Pacific Penthouse, which just so happened to be my home for the night.

“It feels like candy in my pocket,” Deanna Brett said with childlike enthusiasm as she tucked away another piece of turquoise sea glass from the tumbling surf at our feet…. Her tour company takes guests to her favourite hidden beaches where they can beachcomb for treasures and scan for whales in the waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait. “You can scour the beach then turn around and find something new,” she said as she picked up a green marble that appeared in the loose sand in one of my footprints.
