Island View Beach, Sandy beach on Saanich Peninsula, Canada.

Island View Beach runs along the Eastern Cordova shore of the Saanich Peninsula, southwest of James Island. Its terrain consists of beaches, dunes and marshland that support animal and plant species. The southern part of the foreshore forms the public Island View Beach Regional Park, while a Tsawout First Nation reservation fronts much of the northern end.

The Tsawout First Nation has lived along this shore and gathered seafood and medicinal plants for thousands of years, and its reserve fronts much of the northern end of the beach. The first recorded European visitors were James Douglas and first mate Scott M. Jenkin in the latter half of the 18th century. The southern foreshore later became the public Island View Beach Regional Park.

The northern section borders Tsawout First Nation land, marking the indigenous heritage rooted in this coastal area. Visitors encounter this cultural landscape as they walk along the shoreline and see how the community connects with the water.

The regional park campground is open for the summer season only, from the Victoria Day long weekend in May to the Labour Day long weekend in September. Public parking is at Homathko and Puckle Road, southwest of James Island. Off-leash dog restrictions apply from June 1 to September 15, and dogs may not stay overnight.

Locals call it the "Beach of Destiny", a nickname recorded alongside the beach's position southwest of James Island. The name is not marked on maps, so it is easy to miss. The northern end of the beach fronts Tsawout First Nation reserve land, while the southern foreshore forms the regional park.
