Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

This can be a wonderful place to watch the sunset or just enjoy the ships that pass by. The actual lighthouse is a bit of a hike down from the point observation area. Great views of Lions Gate Bridge. There is a nice gift shop and coffee shop here.

Nice Totem poles to see and take some pictures with and it's free. A nice collection in a beautiful park.

We reached the Prospect Point Lookout after a scenic 2 km trek from the Bus Loop, near the Stanley Park Toy Railway Station, walking along the Park’s Seawall Trail. We were rewarded with magnificent views of the Lions Gate Bridge taking off towards North and West Vancouver, from the promontory. Prospect Point Lookout is located at the extreme northern tip of Stanley Park and one can get an almost 270 degree sweeping view of the north, west and south-west which includes the mountains of Vancouver Island in the distance. The views are fantastic and keeps your gaze riveted to the far distance. Try to be here at sunset, which can be quite late in the summer, to take in a glorious sunset. There is a café and ice-cream shop where one can buy refreshments. There is a good parking lot and public washroom as well.

We were riding bikes along the seawall and this was the perfect stop to see the ships in the harbour. You can go under the lighthouse but it is not open to go in.

We spent the day in the Stanley Park. We were walking by the sea and found the sculpture. It's a beautiful bronze sculpture of a girl in wetsuit located in a rock. The views are amazing and we enjoy learning about the sculpture. A modernized version of Copenhagen's Little Mermaid statue. Highly recommended!

Sure this is a tourist thing to do but fun. The worlds prettiest park shoots an unload cannon nightly.
