About this site
Vertical Wow lies along the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, in the waters near Sooke on the southern tip of the island. This stretch of coastline faces the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a body of water known for rocky shoreline and cold, current-swept channels between the island and the Olympic Peninsula.
