Brockton Point Lighthouse

Obviously this lighthouse is hard to miss due to the bright red paint on it, but it really is quite a nice place to stop and think. I walked from the Lumberman’s Arch around the circular wall leading up to the lighthouse and you can catch a great view of the Lion’s Gate bridge from below as well as check out the seagulls munching on starfish on the rocks. The water next to the lighthouse is so clear and green that you can basically see straight to the bottom.
There is an informational plaque within the circular walking area in front of the lighthouse once you make it up the steps to take in the full view of the lighthouse just in case you wanted to know a little bit about how the lighthouse came to be. It really is a nice lighthouse. There are really nice panoramic views of the downtown Vancouver skyline as well Canada Place.
Brockton Point Lighthouse is also a short walk to the 9 O’clock Gun and the Stanley Park Totem Poles just in case you wanted to check that out while you’re in Stanley Park.

You can literally drive up to the lighthouse and not leave your car to get some decent photos of the lighthouse. There is nothing special about this lighthouse other than its shape (rectangular vs. circular) and location (on an island next to another body of land vs. on the coast). It’s convenient to get to from downtown and it’s in Stanley Park (which has other great features) but I would not come here for the lighthouse alone.

interessantes Lighthouse und phantastische Sicht auf den burrard inlet. Es lohnt sich hier die Aussicht auf Vancouver zu genießen.

Sunset drive around the park a must stop, or make it your biking destination with amazing oceanfront views of the mountains and all the sea traffic the old lighthouse is a beacon for all… walk around the seawall on to the lower level under the lighthouse and make out…
