Address: West of Lions Gate Bridge at the far end of West Vancouver; trails start from the Beacon Lane parking lot

A few steps from the lot, the path slips under trees too wide to hug. Twenty minutes down, the forest just stops and smooth rock runs into the water. People spread out on the ledges for the afternoon sun. The Point Atkinson lighthouse is a national historic site but its grounds are closed to visitors, so you see it from a viewpoint inside the park.
