Vancouver - Seawall Promenade

Coal Harbour (where a small coal seam was discovered in the 19th c.) is the start of an 11 km (7 mi.) walk/cycle ride along the top of the low sea wall encircling the peninsula of Stanley Park. One splendid view follows another - of Vancouver's towering skyline, of Burrard Inlet with shipping inward and outward bound, and across First Narrows to North Vancouver and the mountains beyond.
