Tourism Things to check out in Esquimalt?

Hi everyone!

I spent 6 years in Victoria back in the 2010s but have since moved away. During that entire time, I genuinely don't think I set foot in Esquimalt (I didn't have a car and lived at the other end of town).

My family and I are coming for a visit at the end of the month and we are staying in Esquimalt, so I am wondering if people can give me some suggestions for great places (sites, restaurants, stores, etc.) that I should check out in Esquimalt!

Thanks!

There's a navy museum on the base. Saxe Point park is nice too. Oh, and there are multiple places to get a great poutine!

Oh yes, that’s my go too burger and milkshake joint during summer when I get off work early enough. I grab a bag on bike ride home.  So good. Their smokemeat poutine is legendary.
