Reviews of Whytecliff Lookout Point (Zoo)

John van Bockxmeer

You will enjoy this peaceful lookout which encapsulates vistas towards Vancouver and Vancouver island. The park is quite off the beaten track and this means that it isn't too busy. Plenty of parking and picnic tables. You can then walk along the cliff path and take awesome photos. Good for kids too.

Better come early in the morning, it was busy afternoon when we left, great trails for walk and picnic, giant rocks and cliffs to climb.

Love it here even if it's raining did some rock hunting.

Glenda Bacchus

Amazing views! No dolphins on this trip! Maybe next time!

Gangalic Catalin

Amazing views and great place for some chilling moments. The cliffs maybe dangerous for smaller kids due to no enforced rails.

Eric Choi

Lovely location but not much activities in this park other than looking at the rocks

JACOB JOSOL

Beautiful view, awesome location

Urwah Shahid

Such a peaceful place in fall. There were many people there but we still enjoyed so much. Not a stroller friendly place.

Le Desky

Perfect park for golden hour photography, enjoying views, watching dolphin pods swim by, spot seals, etc.

Rob Kwalheim

Bring your binoculars. There is lots to see. Nice walks over rocky shore. See the ocean; touch the ocean.

Yin-Chen Huang

One of the filming location of Sci-fi series Travelers, where the main character Grant MacLaren (Traveler 3468) met his wife.

Angel Armamento

Scenic for sunsets and tides. There's a little island you can walk over to in low tide. Rocky pebbles than sand. Lots of logs to sit on. Picnic areas up on top by the parking.

Kyle McGraw

Sweet Place. Parking can be tough, make sure to park in designated stalls - Police frequent this park and a lot of tickets are handed out for both parking and open liquor. Once you manage to actually manage the zoo that is parking there's a wide variety of spots you can go to. The grass near the parking lot is great for BBQs and the beach gets good sun through the day. The island is accessible at all times BUT once high tide comes the rocks become submerged so make sure to keep an eye on the tide if you're on the island. Better yet check a tide chart because otherwise you'll be swimming back.

Travis Burgie

Love this spot,good old days and great memories

Maryalice Golinsky

Beautiful as always. High tide, so access to the rock island was covered. Lots of great viewpoints along the paths over the rock cliffs. It's easier to walk in running shoes than sandals, because of the surface of the rock, but it's manageable as long as shoes aren't smooth on the bottom. Great playground and picnic areas. Parking is usually limited but this time the area was pretty quiet. This is highly frequented by locals.

Melvin Lucas

Truly a beautiful place.. We stopped by here quick after our trip from Nanaimo.. It was a cloudy day but it cleared up

A Jiwa

Beautiful, scenic and breathtaking views. We were lucky to see a few scuba divers!

Bryan Dott

Beautiful place to take anyone to have a picnic. Fantastic views of the ocean and the cliffs and apparently you get to see seals there certain times of the year as well to. Always a good time even in the rain.

Leo Augusto

Best views of Horseshoe bay. Trails are not as well signaled as other BC trails, but no trouble finding the trail anywhere

Oleksandra Karman

Great place for meditation or for taking nice photos

Darby John

Awesome view! Definitely one of the gems that you can find in West Vancouver area. Good for swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling and they do cliff dives and scuba! Or you could just simply sit and relax the whole day watching the beautiful view.

Joe Kan

Beautiful place! Best sightseeing and picnic ???? spot!

Casey Byrne

I recommend anyone driving by to at least stop in for a few minutes. It's so gorgeous. Wish I was there right now lol

Ajit Betageri

Nice park for small walk and ideal spot for Scuba Divers. Bowen Island looks so close - just a stone throw away distance (but is not!).

Andrew Jonkers

Long walk from bus stop or harbour but worth it if you are a keen Walker. Great views.

Lei Liu

Nice place, children like here. Clean water that can swimming

Linnea Jean

Beautiful view. Rocks to climb up on and look at the view. Water life is often visible. Good place for a date or good friends to hang out.

Gina Chan

Beautiful all year round!

Maurice Vieren

It's a wonderful place! Having breakfast and watching some seals and whales was awesome!

Laura G

This is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful park for any sort of activities, whether it’s a hike, pick nick, yoga time or just a walk for a view. Sometimes, it can also be a really nice spot to watch eagles flying around! Really beautiful!

Shyann Ngo

Such a beautiful park highly recommend, wear running shoes!

rene radomski

Nice park, you can see rocks and water. It can be windy sometimes but sometimes it is not. Lots of houses in this area have nice views of the same point. Place seems clean and well maintained. Grass exhibited signs of high density and deep roots which speaks to the skills of the landscapers and compatibility with external environmental factors.

Cody Russell

There's a small pull-off about a two minute walk north to park. The view is beautiful, as long as you can ignore the very immature graffiti. You need to climb a small rocky hill to get to the overlook. It's only about 8feet up, and walkable, but not friendly to people with mobility disabilities.

Max Nguyen

Such a nice and peaceful place for chill, swiming, paddling and bbq ????

Kamran Tavakoli

Another amazing lookout

The Canada Inc - com

Great spot where you can dive and enjoy the ocean life of BC

Kelsey Hardcastle

Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see what it looks like in the summer

Farzad Ashourpour

Liked it as one of the greatest look out points in West Vancouver

Chloe Choi

Peaceful and beautiful. When I went there, I could walk to the island.

nitish kumbhar

Best place to get ocean and mountain view

Robin Soon

Beautiful place. Good for family picnics.

filmmehappy

You can spot sea lions there resting on the beach! Nice place to be

Yuvaan Gugrajah

Great way to spend the weekend with family

Rana Abhishek Singh

Awesome Views!

Ashton Huehn

If you get there before high tide, you can get onto the little hill/mountain and climb to the top to get a wonderful view! I saw harbor seals very close, relaxing on the rocks.

LV

Nice views, beautiful for swimming great spot to relax and enjoy the sun ????

Gabriel da Silva Santoro

Amazing beach first time that I saw seals and the landscape is spellbinding

Geoffrey K

Absolutely stunning. Rocks are slippy to climb up, but it is more quiet than other typical touristy places. This is not really much of a hike and more of a walk and climb.

Kanomore Kenten

As a professional scuba diver, I say this place is incredible. There is lots of sea stars and fish underwater. Kids usually like jumping the rocks up to island. But beware, it's quite deep.

Virginia Dee

Absolutely stunning park in an incredible location. It may not be easy to park on the weekends so do try and visit at off peak times. Wonderful place for a family picnic and explore. There’s a beach and a concession/cafe.

Salma Berrada

Beautiful British Columbia it's no hyperbole! Lovely place for hiking, picnicking, photoshoots, swimming or just sitting to enjoy the splendid views. I especially enjoyed the winding and sometimes steep paths along the water. It was like a library of flora with hidden nooks and crannies so much so that you can easily feel as though you're all alone in some secluded spot. There were some cliff areas where I'd never take a kid or venture in the dark but it made for a beautiful adventure at sunset

pascal lo

A phenomenal park! Fresh ocean breezes and beaches and trails to walk along, what else can you ask for? Harbor seals are everywhere (I got to see a seal pup feeding from its mother). Climb to the top of the main rock on the beach and you can see far off into the distance where ferries and and boats are sailing by. Apparently, its a great spot for scuba diving because the park is a designated saltwater marine protected area.

Greg Beldock

Great place for a walk, picnic, swim, hike. Free parking, snack shack and a a few bathrooms. Rock trail out to small island accessible at low tide…don’t get caught with tide coming in or you’ll have to swim back.

Iron Fist

Love this place so much I got married here ;)

Erika Quee

Great park and beach to explore! Popular with scuba divers as it is a protected marine park. Washrooms, playground, and covered picnic area. Parking can be tricky on sunny days, but it is free :)

hamed ashtari

Whytecliff area is now distinct from Horseshoe Bay. The park, originally Rockcliffe Park, was developed by W.W. Boultbee in 1926, and a private access road was cut from the Marine Drive highway at Batchelor Bay.

Jayant Chheda

Beautiful place to come enjoy the beach. Fantastic views all around, lots of free parking,green grounds to have family time

Stacy O (Nilelin)

Many routes to take for a walk, rocky and foresty. Enjoyed the pretty views!

Mac Luu Ha

Great view, better taking bus to visit than drive car, no spot in summer time. Sit down and enjoy the ocean &mountains. Only just small space

Alicia W.

Excellent spot to go stargazing on a clear night, we saw stars and the moon seemed so close to us. Very quiet spot with just the sound of waves to accompany you, if you go late at night.

Peter Symons

We enjoyed the area and trails, worth a visit

Mohammed Abas

Park is so nice but very limited parking space, I.e. unfortunately about 70% of the parking occupied by diving schools

seanicroute

Beautiful spot in West Van overlooking the straight of Georgia. Nice place to watch the ferries and boats cruise by. This park has lots of scuba divers on the weekends. Limited parking so best to get here early if you are planning a picnic.

Gazelle Cheng

Simply beautiful. Heard from an old coworker that it's packed on the weekends with kids and bbq's and no parking spots left. Which is really not my kind of vibe. But if you can catch this place without all that on a weekday this place is simply divine and a gorgeous look out.

Jaymz Van

So peaceful and a great flat grass area to picnic or play games with the kids.

Denis Singerean

Amazing views, good place for swimming, diver's spot

Doan Thi Thu Huyen

Great bay view

Kirk B

Beautiful place, great diving spot

Susan Plunkett

Beautiful Views Stunning Park just breathe Taking Clean park great for a picnic ???? family time or just to enjoy the beautiful view ❤️

Sean Ghanbari

This is one of the most beautiful spots in west Vancouver, don't miss it!

Kathie Vander Helm

We grew up in West Vancouver but hadn't been to Whytecliff Park for atleast 30yrs. Still a beautiful place. Amazing views. Benches to sit on and a few trails. Nice beach.

Salma M

Very nice place I enjoy it wo much my kids love it too . Not enough parking spots. The ice cream shop is a complete scam one scoop size of a golf ball 5$ and ut is not that good .

Sawan Lather

Great for fun weekend and with kids and pet

Michael Loehndorf

Always the best spot to take a break or a picnic

Joe Ma

Parking available right next to the little path walk to the lookout. Always nice to take a walk across to the other side of that little mountain

Allayne MacCara

Loved this park. Absolutely beautiful.

Aman Darred

Fun little park with a lot of different activities to keep a family busy. There is an open grassy area, picnic benches, a playground, a beach area (rocky), a beautiful look out area, and the crowd favorite Whyte Island which you can climb easily when the tide is low (make sure you don't get stuck as the tide comes in). Tip: make your way to Horshebay Bay for lunch or coffee.

Chad Alexander

Amazing place to explore. Stunning views and great park for kids. Paired with horseshoe bay it is a nice day! Go when sunny and clear.

Aaron Farris

Always love going there

P Dawg

My favorite spot!! Some small trials to walk, but it's the view of the bay that makes this place remarkable. Many sunsets watched here & on the little island in the middle of the bay!!
