🇨🇦 ​​Chasing Vancouver's Longest Sunset at Iona Beach​​ 🌇

​​Vancouver summer is FINALLY here!!!​​ ☀️ Every year on the ​​summer solstice​​, I make my pilgrimage to ​​Iona Beach​​—where daylight stretches for ​​17 magical hours​​ and the ocean breeze carries the Pacific's gentle whispers. 🌊 📍 ​​Address:​​ Iona Beach Regional Park ⏰ ​​Sunset Time:​​ ~9:15 PM (arrive by ​​7 PM​​ for golden hour!) 🚪 ​​Park Closure Alert:​​ Parking lot closes at ​​9 PM​​ Main gate locks at ​​10 PM​​! 🚶 ​​Hike Stats:​​ 8km round trip (~2 hours, 20K steps 👟) 👗 ​​OOTD Pro Tip:​​ Windproof jacket + breathable layers (trust me, the gusts are ​​brutal​​!) 📸 ​​Secret Photo Spots:​​ 1️⃣ ​​The 4km Ocean Jetty​​ Let the salty wind turn your hair into a ​​movie-perfect mess​​ 🎬💨 2️⃣ ​​9 PM Magic Hour​​ Watch the sky melt into ​​cotton-candy pink and purple​​ over the "wastewater mirror lake" (ignore the name—it’s ​​stunning​​!) 🌅💧 3️⃣ ​​Silhouette of Birds in Flight​​ Set shutter speed to ​​1/1000s​​ to freeze the wind’s poetry 📸 ⚠️ ​​Lessons Learned the Hard Way:​​ ▪️ Bring ​​water​​—zero refill spots! ▪️ Wear ​​grippy shoes​​—hidden shells + slippery rocks! ▪️ ​​Charge your phone​​—no lights on the way back! When that ​​last golden sliver​​ dips below the Georgia Strait, you’ll finally understand the ​​Vancouverite summer creed​​: "We endure 300 days of rain… for THIS." 🌧️➡️✨ ​​Hey sunset chasers!​​ 🌇 What’s your favorite place to watch the sky burn?
