The date

Rocky Point is Port Moody's entire personality, and for once the hype holds. Walk to the end of the recreational pier as the sun settles over the calm head of Burrard Inlet, then drift onto the Shoreline Trail's boardwalk, which comes with benches for every time the conversation deserves a pause. Ice cream waits at the foot of the pier, brewery row inland. Arrive an hour before sundown.

How to do it

Arrive about an hour before sundown, walk out onto the pier as the inlet goes soft, then drift onto the boardwalk, bench-hopping whenever you'd rather sit and talk. Budget around an hour for the flat loop. There's ice cream and fish and chips at the foot of the pier, and a brewery row a short walk inland if the evening wants extending.
