Bring snacks or a packed lunch! I found eating at the park's cafes a bit pricey. There's tons of great picnic spots and it saves you some cash. Plus, you can enjoy the scenery at your own pace!

Walking the entire seawall was exhausting! I suggest breaking it up and taking plenty of breaks. You can find nice benches with great views. My legs thanked me later!

Check out the Vancouver Aquarium – it’s pretty cool! But, my advice is to buy tickets online to skip the line. It can get super busy, especially on weekends!

If you're into art, stop by the Totem Poles – they're a must-see. But, try to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Trust me, the early bird gets the best photos!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beach side cafes can get pricey, and the picnicking vibe is super relaxed.

I suggest checking the tide schedule online before heading out. There’s nothing worse than showing up for a beach day just to find it’s too rocky for swimming!

I think renting bikes is a fun way to explore the park and nearby areas. Just check out the bike rental spots; they can be a bit hidden but worth it!

My advice is to visit during sunset around 7-8 PM. The views are stunning, and it’s not as crowded as during mid-day.

I recommend visiting the petting zoo and the butterfly garden, they are super cute and totally worth the time! I almost missed it, but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip.

Don't miss the 30-foot pool; it's beautiful! I suggest bringing a swimsuit if the weather's nice – I wish I had when I saw people cooling off there!

Make sure to bring a refillable water bottle. You'll want to stay hydrated while hiking and there are plenty of scenic spots to fill it up along the way.

Make sure to visit Takakkaw Falls, but plan for mid-afternoon. The lighting is perfect for photos then, and you can spend some time enjoying the area before it gets too busy.

I recommend checking out the less popular trails like the Iceline Trail early in the morning—around 7 AM. You'll beat the crowds and have the best views all to yourself.

Don't forget to check out the local shops! I found some cool handmade crafts and souvenirs that were way cheaper than the touristy shops... Plus, you’re supporting local artists!

I think you should rent a kayak if you have time! It's a fun way to explore the harbor and see the seals up close. Just be careful of the wind if you're not used to it!

The parking lot fills up quick, especially on weekends. Arrive by 9 AM to snag a spot and enjoy a quieter park before the crowds roll in

Remember to download a map or plan your route in advance! Cell service can be spotty in some areas, and I found myself turned around a couple of times.

Bring snacks or a packed lunch. There aren't many places to grab food nearby, and having a picnic by the lighthouse was one of the highlights for me.

Check the weather before you go! The views are stunning but the trails can be slippery when wet. I got caught in a drizzle and wished I'd worn better shoes.

For the best sunset views, plan to be there around 7:30 PM during the summer months. It's absolutely magical and definitely worth staying a little longer.

Definitely grab a coffee at the café before exploring; their pastries are yummy and it'll fuel your walk around the park. It was a great way to start my visit!

I think the walking paths are great, but be aware of cyclists. If you’re strolling with kids, keep to the designated pedestrian areas to avoid any close calls.
