Time: 2 - 2.5 hours (based on walking pace)
Begin at Burrard Skytrain Station and walk down Melville Street to Bute Street. Go straight down Bute Street towards Coal Harbour. You'll pass a lovely water park which is in front of the patio of the Mill Restaurant. Needless to say the activity was more of a fountain - no kids.
Walk along the seawall path through Coal Harbour to Stanley Park. In Stanley Park we cut through the park and walked past the Aquarium to the Stanley Park water park. From there we walked along the seawall under Lion's Gate Bridge, Siwash Rock, Third Beach, Second Beach Outdoor Pool and finally to English Bay.
The seawall is a popular urban hike in Vancouver so you will be there with runners, walkers, rollerbladers, and bikers. Not to worry though because the seawall is wide enough and well labeled. Mostly there are tourists or healthy active Vancouverites. Everyone is polite and happy to be enjoying the sunshine, view of the mountains and water.
The highlights for me were the Lion's Gate Bridge and Siwash Rock.
