Centennial Seawalk and Ambleside Park Loop: Easy

Details

Just south of Park Royal, Ambleside Park has many impressive features, including lookout points with excellent 360-degree views, large sandy beaches, and a separate beach for off-leash dogs. Vincent Creek, which travels through the center of the park, is a popular location for bird watching as it is home to over 200 species of birds.

The Centennial Seawalk offers recreators fantastic coastal views along the shoreline of West Vancouver. Much of the route follows a paved and elevated trail above the ocean, but a few places have beach access.

The trail includes mostly unshaded, smooth walking paths, with the majority being paved. Parking is plentiful at the trailhead, and numerous large lots throughout the park.

Dogs have recently been permitted with owners on-leash only along this entire route. Learn more here: https://westvancouver.ca/parks-recreation/parks-trails/dogs-parks less
