From beautiful views of Juan de Fuca Strait (Salish Sea) to lush gardens and peacocks, this is the place to come for a stroll and serenity.

I walked up beacon hill to the tippy top and it was a good climb and worth it - because the view is amazing. Not only that, but there are all kinds of people there parked at the top - from rich doctor's to homeless bums. A great park to be in with all kinds of people!
