Highly recommend renting a bike from Spokes Bicycle Rentals across the street and heading over for a few hour ride. The sites of the skyline are wonderful. The further around you go, the more peaceful and serene it becomes. Harbours, inlets, totem poles, bridges, gardens, and occasional whales in the distance bay. We wish we would have had more time to explore the interior of the park and pack a lunch. We only rode around the perimeter due to time constraints, but such a great experience all around. The statue of Lord Stanley was a nice little find as well.

I actually just started running here after all these years and I love it. What a great place to take your mind off of the fact that you actually hate running and feel like quitting. The walk is split for walkers / runners and people on wheels to avoid annoying crashes. The scenery isn’t boring and follows the ocean shore - you will often see cranes, seals, and other nature if you’re watching. I just love the smell of the sea too and it puts lots of energy in my step. Doesn’t ever seem to be over crowded either, but maybe I’ve just been lucky.

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. Highly recommended.

A Fabulous walk/cycle with amazing perspectives! The seawall, partially located in Stanley Park, was built in order to reduce erosion by the sea. It is about 30 km (19 miles) in length, but its muti-use by walkers, cyclists as well as "in line skaters" is about 22 kms (13 miles). Its construction was carried out between 1917-1980. It is the most heavily used part of Stanley Park. The dramatic sea views of the Park, as well as adjacent Vancouver and the sea make repeat visits very common! One can see many totem poles, the iconic Lion's Gate Bridge, False Creek, Canada Place as well as much beautiful scenery. It is a "must go" to place-- even for a short walk! I hope that this Review has been helpful.

It's been my backyard for a while, and after a year worth of runs, it's still as amazing as it was the first time I went. Just be sure to go early in the morning or in the evenings and avoid the weekends if you : - don't wanna stay stuck behind slow people if you're biking - don't like spending your time avoiding tourists left and right if you're running - wanna get the best out of the seawall and enjoy the peace and quiet of the ocean with a beautiful sunrise / sunset. But whatever you choose, if 10 km doesn't scare you, just go for it, you won't regret it.
