Lighthouse Park , just west of Cypress, offers a seascape semi-wilderness at the extreme western tip of the north shore, 8km from the Lion's Gate Bridge. Smooth granite rocks and low cliffs line the shore, backed by huge Douglas firs up to 1500 years old, some of the best virgin forest in southern BC. The rocks make fine sun beds, though the water out here is colder than around the city beaches. A map at the car park shows the two trails to the 1912 Point Atkinson lighthouse itself - you can take one out and the other back, a return trip of about 5km which involves about two-hours' walking. Although the park has its secluded corners (no camping allowed), it can be disconcertingly busy during summer weekends. For more information on the park, contact the infocentre or call 925-7200 or 925-7000. The West Van #250 bus makes the journey all the way from Georgia Street in downtown.
