    Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant and Brewpub

    Start with a pint at Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant and Brewpub. It is just one minute from the anchor, so you can settle in quickly before the light changes. The pub is open until 23:00, so it is a safe bet for any evening hour.

    Brockton Point

    Walk 38 minutes northeast to Brockton Point. This viewpoint at the north-east tip of Stanley Park offers stunning views of the Lions Gate Bridge, the North Shore, and Burrard Inlet. It is the perfect spot to watch the sun set toward the WSW.

    Second Beach Pool

    After the sun dips, head 7 minutes northwest to Second Beach Pool. This very large heated outdoor swimming pool is a great way to cool down after the walk. It is close enough to keep the evening short and relaxed.

Local tip

The walk from the pub to the viewpoint is a steady trek across the park. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer as the wind picks up near the water.
