Iona Beach Regional Park

We went to Iona Beach Regional Park today for the first time. The park is well-known by airplane watchers, as it has a great view of Vancouver International Airport.

You can stand and watch plane after plane descend into the airport and land. It's quite a sight. The park is part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District system and offers beach, dune and marsh trails, along with access to the north arm of the Fraser River.

There is also a 4km jetty extending into the Strait of Georgia that has a path on it, however we had to get home and couldn't walk it -- that's a project for another day.
