Bayview Park
Bedste tid at besøge
Late afternoon on a clear day, arriving 90 minutes before sunset. The golden light hits the pier and Mount Baker perfectly, and the crowds thin out as dinner time approaches.
Budgettips
The park and pier are completely free with no entry fee or parking meters. Pack a picnic from the grocery stores on Johnston Road rather than the beachfront cafes to save money without leaving the waterfront.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Pieret strækker sig 470 meter ud i Salish Sea, hvilket gør det til et af de længste pierer på Nordamerikas vestkyst. På klare dage kan man se Mount Baker dominere horisonten, med sin snedækkede top synlig henover grænsen i staten Washington.
Højdepunkter: Ved lavvande strækker de blottede sandflader sig så langt ud, at pieret ser ud til at svæve over havbunden, med dusinvis af lilla søstjerner, der klynger sig til træpælene lige under dækket. Lokale familier har i generationer kastet krabbe-tejner ud fra pieret, og du kan se dem hive deres fangst op lige ved siden af dig.
Insidertips
- Bring binoculars or a zoom lens to spot bald eagles perched on the pier pilings near the far end.
- Visit on a weekday morning if you want the pier nearly to yourself weekend afternoons draw big crowds.
- Wear sturdy shoes if you plan to walk along the beach at low tide the sand can be surprisingly muddy.
- Skip the paid telescope stations at the pier entrance your own eyes or binoculars give a better view.
