Stanley Park Seawall

Choose a stretch of the 9 km loop and follow the marked pedestrian or cycling lane.

What to expect

The Stanley Park seawall section takes an estimated two to three hours on foot or about an hour by bicycle, according to the City. It is one part of Vancouver's longer 28-kilometre seaside greenway. The walkway and cycle track are marked separately; a shorter out-and-back lets you enjoy the shoreline without committing to the full loop.

Free public path
