More info1001 Steps is the Ocean Park secret that everyone secretly knows: a long zig-zag staircase, close to 284 steps, dropping through forest to a quiet pebble beach that looks west across Boundary Bay to Point Roberts. At low light it is one of the best sunset perches on this coast, with the local tradition of balancing-rock cairns dotting the shore. Add the bluff-top forest paths of Kwomais Point Park right next door and you have a proper walk with a payoff. It is free, a little bit of a workout on the way back up, and quietly romantic.
Start on the bluff at Kwomais Point Park for the forest paths, then take the long staircase down to the beach, close to 284 steps, so save some legs for the climb back. Build the cairns, watch the light go over Boundary Bay, and budget about an hour. Wear real shoes.
