10Best Says

The full Seawall is 17.5 miles and goes along the city's waterfront, and if you can't do the full stretch, make sure to do the 5.5-miles around Stanley Park. This lovely jaunt is perfect on a sunny day to bike, walk, run and blade around. The Seawall is best enjoyed with a few stops here and there, and fortunately for you, there are benches, beaches, public pools and scenic spots to stop along the way. Wherever you decide to stop, epic views are always within reach. If the sun is shining and the temperature's rising, pack your towel and swimsuit and take advantage of the sandy beaches and cool ocean waters. No matter what your skill level is, the Seawall is enjoyable for all ages and athletic abilities.
