Cool thing about the unique landscape in Vancouver is … that the forest comes right up to the ocean. In many lands, saltwater does not promote tree growth so forest is a bit more in the high lands from the ocean but … here, all these trees provide lovely foliage right up to the shores. Walking by the seaside hiking and biking path, one can look to the left to appreciate the vast sea … then look to the right – only to take in the lush greenery … view of trees, trees, and more … trees. Love the proximity of two environs… there’s no need to choose between a beach/ocean and the forest/mountains – they are both within grasp… it’s the best of both worlds without going a great distance.
So you feel like you can sit at this bench, with entire forest at your back, then feel the ocean salt water in the air and see the bright sparkly sea … and the horizon beyond. It must be spectacular sunrise and sunset here… it’s a mid-afternoon visit though.
Water is clear … translucent.
