This park is considered one of the most ideal places to hold hands and have a picnic. Built in 1912, Point Atkinson Lighthouse is a wilderness area close to the West Vancouver city centre. Easily accessible by car and public transit, it is a favourite day hiking spot. The park trails take you through huge Douglas firs, rocky cliffs and a granite shoreline. Be on the lookout for the bald eagles that nest in the Douglas firs. Unfortunately, the lighthouse itself is a working one and is closed to the public.
