Description
-
Whytecliff Park is more of a viewpoint than a walk. With various different viewpoints to explore, you can meander between them and take in the views out over the water, to Bowen Island and across to Vancouver Island. An absolute gem at sunset, explore the pathways along the rocky outcrops, take a few snaps, or take a stroll down by the beach. A short, but very worthwhile stop on your adventures.

Navigation
-
The trail: Well-signed, marked or frequent on trail maps. Always carry a map. Phone signal in BC is not reliable when hiking. Always carry an OFFLINE map. I recommend and use AllTrails+ and Gaia Maps.
Hike Difficulty And Conditions
Whilst the trail from the car park to the beach is wheelchair and stroller accessible (and makes a nice sunset spot), the trail up and over the rocky outcrops is not accessible. There are uneven surfaces, stairs and some paved sections to navigate.
