Lighthouse Park is a beautiful strand of old-growth forest nestled into West Vancouver at the entrance of the Burrard Inlet. Many trails throughout the park provide the perfect family outing on a sunny or a rainy day. There are several rocky outcrops on the ocean shore. Each one provides fantastic views of the Salish Sea, downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park. The forest is dense and rich with life and is a great spot for a quick getaway from the bustle of the city.
