    The Pacific Marine Circle Route is a 263-kilometre (163 mi) marked scenic loop road through southern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The route is composed of Highway 14, Pacific Marine Road, Shore Road, Highway 18, and a segment of the Trans-Canada Highway.[2][1]

    The Pacific Marine Circle Route was established by the British Columbia Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture with the promise of an increase in tourist travel in southern Vancouver Island.[3] It is one of British Columbia's 12 Circle Routes scattered throughout the province.[4][5]
