Shoreline Trail — Attraction in Port Coquitlam

Nice trail, terrible people. Those wooden bridges were pretty narrow, and I was almost knocked over (more than once) because some people just had to walk side by side and refused to acknowledge that I as a human being needed some space. These people would rather bump into you or seriously squeeze your personal space than lose their precious opportunity to be beside each other.

After the return hike enjoy Pajo’s Fish and Chips or Rocky Point Ice Cream. If so inclined enjoy a beer at one of the four Craft Breweries along Murray Street.
