1001 Steps

The beach is beautiful. The sunset is beautiful. There’s a long staircase before you reach the beach. When you reach the end of the staircase, there’s a trail going to the beach. There’s tons of wild blackberries along the trail. You will find a short tunnel with lots of graffitis. On top of the tunnel is a railway.nnPack light when going to the beach as the stairs is long. You can enjoy picnic by the beach. Please note that the beach are large pebbles and stones not fine sand. Children cannot build sand castles because there’s only large stones available.nnThere’s no washroom. Parking is a few minute walk from the entrance of the staircase. Street parking only. Free street parking.

Beautiful place. Love the balancing rocks such a surreal and ethereal view and great place to walk around. Makes the steps so worth it.

I'm not much of an outdoor person.. but this was actually something I enjoyed. It wasn't as hard as I thought, and it wasn't as crowded although there were lots of people going up and down. If you need to get in some exercise or steps in, this is the place to go!

I enjoyed doing this walk. The steps are super friendly on the knees if that is a concern to anyone. I also enjoyed the beach after that. It was really rewarding on such a warm day.

One of the rare neighbourhood beach access points, although it will take you a bit to get there. First the stairs and then, flanked by endless blackberry bushes, a walk along the railway. Late July, early August is berry season so bring a container.nThe staircase is absolutely amazingly build with numerous places to rest and take a breath on your way up.nnEspecially during sunset time this place shows it’s magic with glistening ocean mirroring the sunlight and illuminating your walk down and up.nnFor opening hours know that they are staggered and change with the length of day, the park gates at the bottom of the street close at:nFeb 12 - Apr 15 at 8pmnApr 16 - Aug 25 at 10pmnAug 27 - Oct 15 at 8pmnOct 16 - Feb 11 at 6pm.nThere is a sign at the gate so make sure to verify the times.
