Stanley Park's west-facing sandy cove, where everyone on the seawall cycles past while you watch the real show.
Third Beach / Ferguson Point, Stanley Park
More infoThe seawall gets all the attention and Third Beach gets all the sunsets. Tucked under Ferguson Point on the wild western edge of Stanley Park, this sandy cove faces straight into the evening sky, no downtown skyline cluttering the frame. The Teahouse perched above has built its whole reputation on this view. Walk in through the forest, claim a log, and arrive an hour before sundown.
Detour off the seawall and walk in through the old-growth to this west-facing cove; the bit of effort is exactly why it stays quiet. Stake out a log, pack a thermos, and budget around 90 minutes, arriving an hour before sundown. Watch the sky melt over the sea with no skyline in frame, and the Teahouse above is right there to extend the evening.
