Sea Island / Middle Arm - Route 4
This 25 km route is both a driving and cycling route.
Known as the the home of the Vancouver International Airport, Sea Island is also home to some significant natural areas. On this drive, you will pass by excellent airplane viewing spots, old agricultural fields that are now protected natural areas, a small boat launch area along the river, and into a regional park with incredible views in many directions. This is a great bird-watching route so be sure to bring a camera or binoculars for viewing.
The cycling route uses a combination of on-street bike lanes, off-street pathways and low-volume local roads. You can bicycle this route in approximately 85 minutes, however, if you have some extra time add another 4 km each way to bike the jetty at Iona Beach Regional Park. On the jetty you are likely to see feeding eagles, herons and spectacular views of the Coastal and North Shore mountains.
