Stanley Park

The basics

This scenic viewpoint is a popular stop-off for sightseeing tours of Vancouver, including hop-on hop-off bus tours, which pull up here and at several other key sights within the park, such as the Brockton Point totem poles, the Vancouver Aquarium, and Second Beach. The viewpoint is home to the historic Prospect Point Lighthouse, which was erected after the SS Beaver steamship ran into the rocks here in 1882. The current lighthouse building is not the original, but a later version that was built in 1948. The scenic viewpoint is a popular stop-off for visitors touring the park. After exploring on foot or by bike, Prospect Point’s bar terrace makes an appealing place to sit and enjoy a cold beer or some food.

How to get there

Prospect Point is set above the seawall, just off Stanley Park Drive, making it easily accessible by car. There is parking, but space is limited and it fills quickly during the summer, so it’s better to come on foot, by bike, or by bus. TransLink’s #19 bus service stops are nearby.
