Located in Belcarra Regional Park, Admiralty Point is a short hike that offers spectacular views of Deep Cove, Mount Seymour, and Burnaby Mountain across the waterways connecting Burrard Inlet with Indian Arm. The trail has very little elevation change and is perfect for families. The trail continues along the shoreline, offering glimpses of scenery and the passing boats on a warm summer's day. The trail eventually reaches a sign pointing the way to Cod Rock. This is a short side track with a view worth checking out before continuing along the trail. After walking another kilometer from Cod Rock, the trail reaches a junction with a sign pointing the direction to Admiralty point. Go right and follow the path about 100 meters to a rocky outcrop along the shore. You've reached your destination and this is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the North Shore mountains as the waves lap up against the rocks. After enjoying the scenery at Admiralty Point, return to the main trail where the sign to Admiralty Point was. The trail continues for another 30 minutes or so to a beach area and Burns Point. The beach offers a similar view to what Admiralty Point has and is only a short distance beyond the junction. Burns Point offers a view of the waterway connecting Burrard Inlet with Port Moody. When you are ready to return to the picnic and parking area at Belcarra Regional Park, re-trace your steps along the trail and follow the path along the shoreline.

Admiralty Point Trail is a gorgeous path that is enjoyable all year round. It has excellent views, nice beaches, and many interesting stopping points. Be sure to see Cod Rock, Periwinkle Notch, and Maple Beach along the way. The trail itself alternates between walking paths and light hiking trails. It is suitable for all ages and abilities. If you prefer a longer and slightly more difficult adventure, this trail can also be turned into a loop by continuing past Admiralty Point. You will then see Whiteshell Bank, Burns Point and Caraholly Point. Next, as you leave the shoreline you will pass by the trials motorcycle park. And finally, you can stroll around Woodhaven Swamp before returning to your starting point via the Springboard trail. You may notice that this route includes a section between Burns Point and Caraholly Point for which Alltrails does not show a trail. Not to worry as the unmarked trail is there and although lightly used, the path is clear to see.Show more
