🌊 Where the City Fades and Stillness Begins

For Lyric Estrella, Stanley Park Seawall isn’t just a destination—it’s a transition. From the moment she steps onto the path that hugs the water’s edge, the noise of the city seems to melt away. “I really like how the seawall gives you space to breathe,” she says, tucking a loose curl behind her ear as the breeze rolls in. “It’s like Vancouver’s softest side.”

The mix of ocean air and evergreen forest grounds her. With each step or slow pedal, she finds herself returning to a quiet, more centered rhythm.

☀️ A Day of Easy Joy

Lyric beams as she cruises along the Seawall on her vintage bike, her dress fluttering in the wind and her laughter carried by the salt air. “Honestly, I’m just happy here,” she grins. “There’s something about being in motion with the waves beside you that feels completely freeing.”

She often stops to dip her toes in the sand, grab a scoop of gelato near English Bay, or stretch out on a bench overlooking the water. “It’s not about doing a lot. It’s about doing it fully—and I love that.”

🌲 Beauty in the Layers

From lush forest to open sea, the contrast of landscapes feeds Lyric’s visual soul. “I love how the Seawall shifts from moment to moment,” she explains. “One second you’re in the shadow of ancient trees, the next you’re staring into forever.”

She’s especially fond of golden hour near Siwash Rock, where the light catches the water just right. “That’s when I like to pause and just… feel,” she says softly. “No need for conversation. Just presence.”

💬 A Natural Setting for Connection

Whether walking hand-in-hand or riding side-by-side, Lyric believes the Seawall offers an ideal environment for authentic connection. “You don’t have to perform here,” she says. “You can just walk, talk—or not—and still share something meaningful.”

Her favorite dates are those that flow like the tide: unhurried, intuitive, and light-hearted.

🌅 Leaving with More Than Memories

As the sun begins to set and the sky warms to peach and lavender, Lyric finds her way to the beach to end the day barefoot in the sand. “Every time I come here, I leave a little softer,” she smiles. “And that’s something I’ll always come back for.”
