Brockton Point Lighthouse

Beautiful scenic view. Great place to sit and rest as there are many benches along the side. Sometimes you might see a seaplane take off from nearby. The trail around Stanley Park goes by here as well, so you can walk, run, bike, drive, or even fly in a seaplane to this location. Parking costs money, but you can probably sit in your car and look out at the view for a few minutes as well.

Beautiful light house a true gem of Vancouver Stanley park well known around the world for it beautiful mountains and oceans.. a must try rent a scooter or ebike around the sea wall people of all ages including children. Ebike and scooters available at coal harbour rentals ..

In 1890, due to the turbulent currents and many accidents,a crude set up of lanterns on a mast was set up as a beacon for incoming sea vessels. 1914 marked the opening of the Brockton Point Lighthouse. Named after Francis Brockton, an engineer aboard the HMS Plumber that surveyed the BC coast from 1857-1860.The lighthouse had many keepers with the last retiring in1956. The light was deactivated in 2008 but continues to draw many tourists. Designed by William P.Anderson and constructed of masonry materials. Spectacular views of the mountains and the Second Narrows Bridge. I happened to be there when some military ships were in the harbour.

Cool little lighthouse with views of North Van. Luckily it snowed yesterday so there was a picturesque backdrop of the snow capped mountains! On the little plaque it says there used to be a lot of otters, seals and orcas in the bay on a daily basis but not so much now due to all the ships and pollution. If you get chance to spend some time here, you may be in for a treat. Check it out

Nice chilling place with the park in front of the lighthouse. The view is okay…not impressive. It was very foggy today. The mountains behind are spectacular as well as the Lion Gate, but the port on the other side is ugly.

Amazing park for short/long walks with beautiful views of the water and city.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Great lookout spot. Got some great shots from the stairwell. :

Awesome place for taking photos! And take a view of the northern Vancouver.

Currently not accessible by car, you can ride your bike though. Still a busy spot for people to stop and take pictures but the park across the street is not so busy, even on a sunny Sunday. Lots of park benches and two picnic tables for your use. Stairs from the lighthouse lead down to the seawall. Make sure to take a few pictures of the view.
