Vancouver Seawall — Attraction in Vancouver

I really love the Seawall around Coal Harbour, Stanley Park, English Bay, the Expo 86 grounds. It is a nice, mostly-flat long walk/bike ride/roller ride.The views of the city, parks, harbours, mountains, and bay are fantastic. The seawall trail is all paved, making it easy to ride/walk /rollerblade-or skate. I have been riding it since I came to Canada and make it a point to take my kid ls to ride it as well. There are and great many things to do along the way ands well. One can picnic throughout the park, one can simply enjoy the many beaches around Stanley Park and English Bay or pools at 2nd Beach and snd the VAC. Or one can stop and shop or eat at one of the many restaurants at the Denman/Davie Junction. Further along, there and snd re lots of other parks and snd rend things to see, including the Plaza of Nations and Science World.Decide to go further and you can walk or ride all the way to UBC along the seawall by way of Granville Island, the Maritime Museum, Kitsilano Beach and pool, Jericho, and Spanish Banks beaches. All beautiful but te best part is the Stanley Park, 2nd Beach and English Bay areas by far. The Seawall is kid friendly but I don't recommend riding it with kids unfamiliar/too young or unstable to understand rules of the road. The path has a speed limit - to help people enjoy the path. Sometimes there are cyclists and skaters who don't observe the speed limit and could cause harm so, beware. It is most beautiful in the early mornings and...

Must-do amazing stroll in Vancouver, not to be missed! The Vancouver Seawall is a stunningly beautiful path that runs around parts of city and Stanley Park, dubbed “the world's longest uninterrupted waterfront path” at 28 km. And, it’s free. The path is well-paved, and the Stanley Park part of the path is divided between walkers/joggers (outside track along the water) and bikers/skaters (inside track). The bikers/skaters track can be quite busy with a wide variety of travelers from serious athletes to meandering groups. As a walker, I very much appreciated the traffic divide; you can walk casually and take pictures at leisure. Tip: if you’re a walker, be careful to look both ways before crossing the bikers/skater path into the interior of Stanley Park. The pictures from the path are amazing and vary at different points along the route, both the Stanley Park portion and the broader path: the Vancouver skyline, Coal Harbor, Burrard Inlet, Brockton Point Lighthouse, English Bay, activity in the water (seaplanes, boats, ships, etc.), North Vancouver and the mountains behind it, Lions Gate Bridge, False Creek, Granville Island, and so much more. You can also access Stanley Park’s outer perimeter attractions from the path. If your visiting Vancouver, you must take the time to get over to Stanley Park and walk part of the path—you’ll get great exercise, see some interesting people, and get some of the most amazing pictures.

Stanley Park is bordered on all sides by the well known Seawall which has a length of about 9 km around the park. As we walked along the path from near the public transit bus loop to Prospect Point we were treated to many exquisite sights along the Coal Harbor section. We could see many take-off and landings of the ubiquitous sea planes. There were huge cargo ships stationed in the harbor. We saw a couple of local fishermen catch a small shark in their net. There is a lighthouse near Prospect Point, and a panoramic view of the Lion’s Gate Bridge spanning the Burrard Inlet to the harbor. It can take up to 2 or 3 hours to walk the full perimeter of the seawall around the seawall, but one can also do the wall by bicycle, and these are available for hire at many outlets near the park. Some people were jogging and others roller skating. All in all, a visit to Stanley Park is a must if you are a tourist in Vancouver, and even if you are a resident the park and the seawall is a great was to exercise and spend some quality time in...
