neighbourhood, with its multi-million dollar, secluded homes to the north. The heart of Cadboro Bay is its English style village shopping area. One of the main attractions of Cadboro Bay is its curving, sandy beach. The beach lines the shoreline of the body of water which bears the name "Cadboro Bay".
At the foot of Sinclair Road is the Cadboro Bay Beach Public Park with a concrete octopus, fish, tugboat and a replica of the sea monster, Cadborosaurus. The body of water named Cadboro Bay is the home of the Cadborosaurus, nicknamed Caddy, a mythical sea monster that has supposedly been spotted in the calm waters of the bay. Cadboro Bay gets its name from the first Hudsons Bay Company sailing vessel brought to the BC Coast, the "Cadboro", which was the first vessel to anchor in the bay. ["Cadboro".
