    Lighthouse Marine Park - View from beach~

    Rocks, driftwood and the open sea: this is a quaint little park that (for a mainland Washingtonian)…read moreis a bit of an odyssey to visit. A tiny community subsisting on "tourist" dollars from Canada (man, I sure hope they are doing alright, with the borders being closed due to COVID), Point Roberts was a bucket list item of mine, being one of the few enclaves in the US. Due to a geographic anomaly placing the peninsula below the 49th Parallel, it requires two border crossings (and a passport) to reach it by land. Canadians often come here for the cheap gasoline and liquor (truly the hallmarks of American culture!), and to park their yachts and boats cheaply. My wife and I spent an afternoon walking the beach, with the warm sun on our face, and a few Canadian families enjoying American FREEDOM nearby (yes, I am being cheeky). There are some covered patio spaces with tables for such activities, and although they are quickly claimed, you can pretty much setup a picnic anywhere: there are plenty of logs that will serve the same purpose. I can't say what it's like during the "busy" season, but during our visit in mid-August, the atmosphere was jovial, the people were pleasant, and there were no crowds whatsoever. Lighthouse Marine Park is the perfect, quiet seaside escape for those looking for a peaceful beach in which to relax on a warm day with family and friends.

    I like this park. The picnic and pavilion area has been spruced up so it looked pretty inviting…read more Visiting the park in spring is definitely better than winter. It is not as cold unless it is a windy day. So definitely bring a jacket. The walking trail round the coast is not very long and it will probably take about an hour or less for a slow stroll. There are many birds - crows and gulls. There is a lighthouse which is not a pretty building. It looks very basic and is not a tower like building. This is also the whale migration route. But I have yet to see any whales or the seals or sea lions or porpoises. So sad. I have only seen ducks bobbing along near the shoreline. When the weather is nice, this is a good place to just sit on the many benches and chill, looking at the sea. For kids, there is a "fort" made of branches and twigs. I have seen many children having fun there, climbing up to the top or adding more branches to fortify it. I also saw a group of children with their teachers or some adults with garbage bags cleaning the shore area. Kudos. But generally the place is clean, I do not see much garbage left behind.

    Crescent Beach in South Surrey is one of my favorite places to capture quiet sunsets. The soft pink…read moreand blue hues reflect over the calm water, creating a peaceful and timeless mood. Each visit feels different -- sometimes serene, sometimes full of color and light. It's the kind of place where you can breathe, slow down, and simply watch the day fade into stillness. my fine-art landscapes on Instagram: @aaronshaphoto #SouthSurrey #CrescentBeach #VancouverSunset #AaronShaPhoto #FineArtPhotography #BCCoast

    This little beach off the beaten path is a local gem. If you're from Alberta, think White Rock =…read moreBanff, Crescent Beach = Jasper. If you're not from Alberta, that analogy might not resonate with you. Crescent beach is like a locals only type of beach. There's a volleyball area, a Sandy cove for swimming, public restrooms, and a long walkway along the beach you can walk on. There are benches, logs and giant rocks for sitting and sun bathing or to just enjoy the sound of the water. I grabbed sushi from nearby sushi spot Hanaya Japanese restaurant and got their lunch special. Took my food "to-go" and headed on down to Crescent beach. There is free parking along residential streets but you can also park close to the public washrooms area next to the Crescent Beach swimming club (which is for members only). Although there are not many food or drink places on the beach, there is a little sail boat place where you can book a tour on a sailboat and head out onto the water. There is a dock for fishing too and the water is super clean. Lifeguards are also on patrol at this beach which is an amazing safety feature to have as well. I would definitely recommend this beach if you want something a little more low key, a little quieter, somewhere to meditate perhaps or have a nice lunch.

    This is a man made park that was built for residence of New West. I don't come to New West often…read morebut am surprised that this park existed and I don't know about it. Its a mirror of the downtown coal harbour seawalk. It has a pretty nice stretch from one end to the other. So what's interesting here: -There are hammocks set up for people to relax -There are sun loungers that flip from one end to the other depending where you want to face -Volleyball courts for small gatherings -A nice green area for people who just want to sit in the sun -A kids play area -A nice path for walkers like me. This is a very well laid and thought through park. Lots of design ideas has been put into it. I am impressed.

    This is a good small size park which has a bit of everything. I like the hammocks out there during…read moresummer. The cooling station is a plus during a hot summer day. Be warn you can get burned. There are many sun loungers which can be flipped to face the other direction. There are a few swings for children and toddlers. It incorporated a bit of history in the entire park. There are basketball court, volleyball court and an urban beach. There is also a patch of greenery where yoga classes are conducted, and all are welcome. The concession stand is open during summer, great for a quick snack or an ice cream cone. Benches are everywhere for you to relax and enjoy the view of the Fraser River. It is a nice easy walk. Plus if you are still into Pokemon Go, there are gyms and pokestops around too.
