Seaside Greenway

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

The Seaside Greenway loops 24 km along Vancouver's waterfront, linking beaches, parks, and public art, with a tiny False Creek ferry stitching the shores together. Flat, family-friendly, and arguably the city's signature ride.
