Vancouver Seawall

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Great views of Vancouver whilst walking, running, cycling or skating.

Tip by

4.37 km

After the steamboat Beaver hit Prospect Point in July 1888 and sank, the first light was installed at Prospect Point a short time later to prevent further accidents. It was a white beacon housed in a lantern room on the roof of the Warden's apartment.
Today's Prospect Point Lighthouse was built in 1948.

Siwash Rock and English Bay view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Siwash Rock is a dramatic sea stack rising just offshore beneath the park’s rugged sandstone cliffs, and is one of Vancouver’s most recognizable natural landmarks. Formed millions of years ago by a volcanic intrusion, it resisted erosion better than the surrounding rock, standing about 15–18 metres tall and is the only sea stack of its kind in the Vancouver area. The coastal forest backdrop, open water, and views across English Bay make it one of the most photographed spots along Stanley Park’s waterfront.

Third Beach

Highlight • Beach

I wouldn't necessarily swim here because the cargo ships pass through here. But to watch the hustle and bustle or just to relax, this place is good.

Lost Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Lost Lagoon is a freshwater lake at the entrance to Stanley Park. Before the Stanley Park Causeway was built, this area was a tidal mudflat connected to Coal Harbour and would disappear at low tide, inspiring the name given by poet E. Pauline Johnson. Today, the lagoon is one of Vancouver's best places for urban wildlife watching, with ducks, great blue herons, turtles, and other water birds regularly seen along its shores. The flat path around the water also offers beautiful reflections of the downtown skyline and surrounding trees.
