Stanley Park Sea Wall
For those unfamiliar with Vancouver, the sea wall is a concrete walkway that lines the downtown perimeter. It allows pedestrians, bikers and rollerbladers to walk adjacent to the water for an uninterrupted 28 km. There are a few nice viewpoints along the Stanley Park section of the sea wall. For example, I really like the view underneath the Lion’s Gate Bridge. Another great viewpoint is facing away from the bridge and towards Siwash Rock. Tip: If you don’t want to walk around the full Stanle...
Prospect Point
Best For: Mountains of the North Shore If you’d rather get a higher vantage point than what the sea wall can offer, head to Prospect Point. This viewpoint is also part of Stanley Park and faces North Vancouver. There’s parking nearby and if you go during the day in the summer there is an excellent gelato place there too. One downside is that I find it a little difficult to capture the Lion’s Gate Bridge here, since there are a lot of trees and other distractions in the way.
Queen Elizabeth II Park
Queen Elizabeth II Park is the only viewpoint in Vancouver that I haven’t visited yet, although I know it’s a really popular one. I’m planning on visiting it soon, so for now I’ll leave this here as a place holder and update as soon as I’ve been!
Jerico Beach // Spanish Beach
Jerico Beach and Spanish Beach are very close to one another and they offer almost identical views of downtown and West Vancouver (the photos below are from Jerico Beach). What I love about this viewpoint in Vancouver is that is offers a great view of the city skyline, a great view of the North Shore AND a great view of the distant mountains around Howe Sound. Tip: Try to time it so you visit when sunset occurs at low tide. This way, you can walk along the sand out into Burrard Inlet. Just be...
Kitsilano Beach
Best For: Sunset behind Mountains & Sailboats Kits Beach is probably the most popular beach in Vancouver. The view itself is quite similar to that of English Bay Beach, however the area itself is much nicer. The beach is huge and has volleyball nets, there’s a playground nearby and a restaurant with humungous windows (an excellent option if you want good views + good food). Tip: The photos below are from a spontaneous trip to Kits and all I had was an iPhone. If you can, bring a telephoto len...
English Bay Beach
Best For: Ocean Views I walk the stretch of sea wall in between Burrard Bridge and English Bay Beach almost every day. Although I typically go in the mornings, it’s most beautiful at sunset. The Inukshuk is a great subject for a sunset silhouette, as are the shipping tankers in the distance.
The following locations require some hiking to reach but are definitely worth the effort. Remember that these are wilderness hikes in the mountains, so you should always be prepared with the 10 essentialsand let someone know what your plans are.
I hope this has inspired you to explore some new viewpoints in Vancouver! If I had to pick my absolute favourites, I think I’d go with the Stanley Park Sea Wall and Goat Mountain. Though it’s hard to choose since many of them are so different. What’s your favourite? And if there are any you think I’ve missed, please leave a comment and let me know!
