The highest point in Stanley Park, straight down the Lions Gate Bridge, and an ice-cream stand to stand at while you stare.
Prospect Point, Stanley Park
More infoProspect Point ends the 'where should we go' text thread. From the highest spot in Stanley Park you look straight down over the First Narrows, the Lions Gate Bridge sweeping across to the North Shore and freighters drifting below on a schedule they refuse to explain. There's even an ice-cream stand. Standing on the lookout is free; you pay only for parking. Wait for golden hour.
Roll up to Stanley Park's highest lookout (you only pay for parking) and find a quiet corner of the railing over the First Narrows, the Lions Gate sweeping across to the North Shore. The lean-on-the-railing-together part is the whole date, so budget around an hour. There's a cafe and ice-cream stand for a lazy stop, and the light off the inlet does the rest.
