Lighthouse Park

This rugged park is located along West Vancouver's Marine Drive and is about a 30-minute drive from downtown. It features several trails that lead to tidal pools and stunning views. The trail from the parking lot to the lighthouse viewpoint is somewhat steep so be sure to wear your hiking boots. If you don't have a car, you can hop on a bus from downtown Vancouver and it will take you directly to a bus stop right by the park's entrance. When you're ready to go home, simply go to the other side of the street and make your way to the opposite stop. It doesn't hurt to look at Translink's (Vancouver and the Lower Mainland's public transport service) website for schedules. Should you be driving here, the parking is free.
