Garry Point Park, Steveston

More info

The date

Garry Point Park sits at Richmond's southwest corner, 75 acres of open grass, driftwood logs, and sandy shoreline pointed straight across the Salish Sea toward Vancouver Island, as if the park's one job is handing you the best sunset going. Claim a driftwood log, split whatever you grabbed at the Steveston wharf, and wait for the light to go gold. Wander the Kuno Japanese garden meanwhile. Free, flat, effortless.

How to do it

Grab something off the Steveston wharf, then walk to Richmond's southwest tip and claim a driftwood log facing the water. The payoff is the light going gold over the Salish Sea, a real contender for best sunset around. Wander the Fisherman's Memorial and the little Kuno Japanese garden while you wait. It's free and flat, takes an easy hour or two, and bring a layer for the breeze.
