Snabba fakta: Home to the largest remaining stand of old-growth Douglas fir trees in the Greater Vancouver area, some towering over 200 feet tall. The park's 75 hectares include 8 kilometers of trails and a granite shoreline that served as a filming location for the 1990s TV series "The X-Files."
Höjdpunkter: Climb down to the rocky shore at sunset and watch the freighters glide through the Strait of Georgia with the silhouette of Point Atkinson Lighthouse blinking in the distance. The lighthouse keeper's residence, built in 1912, still stands with its original red roof and white clapboard, looking exactly like a postcard from a century ago.
Insidertips
- Skip the main parking lot and head straight for the Juniper Point trail for immediate ocean views without the crowds.
- Bring sturdy shoes with grip, as the rocky shoreline gets slippery even when dry and the roots crossing the trails can trip you up.
- The third beach from the lighthouse offers the best sunset views and far fewer people than the main lookout.
- Check the tide tables before you go, low tide reveals tide pools with starfish, anemones, and tiny crabs along the southern shore.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Vancouver, Canada, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
