Acadia Beach

Highlight • Beach

Tucked below the cliffs of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Acadia Beach is a quiet stretch of shoreline overlooking Burrard Inlet. Driftwood logs, smooth stones, and views across to the North Shore make it a peaceful spot to rest after a forest walk on the Sword Fern Trail.

Foreshore Park

Highlight • Natural

The 'Foreshore Park', a small park with meadow and deciduous trees, is located at the north-west end of the 'Pacific Spirit Regional Park' between 'Northwest Marine Drive' and the bluff above 'Arcadia Beach'. A forest path leads down to the beach where you meet the 'Foreshore Trail'.

Sword Fern Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A tranquil forest walk hidden within the city, the Sword Fern Trail winds through dense cedar and fir inside Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Thick ferns line the path and sunlight filters through the canopy — it feels miles from Vancouver, yet it’s right on its edge.

Iva Mann Loop Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Iva Mann Loop uses existing trails within Pacific Spirit Regional Park to form an introductory loop for visitors to enjoy the park and learn more about the local flora and fauna. The loop is named in honour of Iva Viola Mann who worked tirelessly to see the formation of the park after the land was ceded to the city of Vancouver from the provincial government.
