Helliwell is such a magical place! It's a lovely walk along beautiful grassy bluffs. So nice in the spring when there is lots of wildflowers, but really it's an amazing place, rain or shine! It's also a nice place to jog, walk your dog, my sister even takes her stroller with kids.

Nice and easy walk with beautiful views. Take your time and soak it in. There are really neat rock formations. Well worth a visit.

Easy walk to the cliffs and beach area. Fantastic view of Strait of Georgia. Go aong the shore line when the tide is out. Lots of Starfish clustered together in small Crevasses.

The 5km loop walk around the park provides beautiful scenes at every turn. We especially enjoyed the bluffs, with the colors of the grasses, ocean, and rocks giving us pause to stop and take in the views of a truly beautiful part of our country. Good ferry service to the Island makes for a really enjoyable day trip. Bring a... More

What stunning views are to be had at this provincial park.... Watch out if you are taking your dogs.... Not all dogs are kept on leads.... And if you are licy you will run into some fantastic young musicians!!!
