Definitely one of the coolest places to go cliff jumping in the world. The spot itself is south west facing and basks in the sunshine right until the sun sets at night. The crisp and refreshing sea water is great and quite warm. You can jump here pretty comfortably from May until September. The place is in a constant state of change and it has a long and storied history. I have put in many hours and a bunch of money improving and maintaining this place, so please treat it with respect and take out your garbage and maybe that of others when you leave. Also, the residents are kind enough to let us use their parking lot, so be respectful when parking, try not to be too loud, and keep the area clean. We do not want to endanger our parking priveledges here.
This main feature of this zone is the diving board. Currently, it's version 3.0 and is the worst of the diving boards which have graced these cliffs so far. I helped put it in with Matt Poynter and Eric Herbst as a temporary solution until we find a better board. There is also a rope swing and a giant hammock which can hold in excess of 10 people. It's a pretty amazing spot for hanging. There used to be a slide here as well, but that's now a part of its history, we plan on building a new one soon though. Just a note, there is a firepit, but please do not have any fires here as the are is prone to underground fires and you could torch the whole place. I have spent hours here extinguishing underground fires when people have had careless fires. We also plan on building a proper concrete fire pit. There are a who range of cliffs, but mostly there are the cliffs at the toys, then the upper bluffs from 40-50 feet. There is a fun 65 footer just around the corner from them. There is also a super crazy hit called the drunken indian, but I have never seen anyone do it though I've heard rumors.
That being said, to get here, you have to walk about 1.5 km south on the train tracks from the parking lot and the trail to the cliffs is about 100 meters after the 17.5 marker. Walk the train and it should be pretty obvious where to go. Amazing place. Please treat it with respect, clean up, no fires (for now), and be nice to the residents.
To get here from Vancouver, ttake the Sea to Sky highway 99, take the Kelvin Grove exit, cross the overpass, hang a left and follow it all the way down the hill. Park in the parking lot and try to get a visitor's spot. Now walk down the train tracks as previously explained. |
