Brockton Point Lighthouse

Brockton Point Lighthouse is a white tower with red horizontal bands located at the eastern end of Stanley Park in Vancouver. The structure rests on an arched base with a passage underneath, and includes a viewing platform at the top from which ships and the coastline are visible.

A light beacon was first installed at this location in 1890 to guide ships safely through the waters off Vancouver. The current masonry structure was built and activated in 1914.

The name honors Captain William D. Jones, the first keeper who shaped the place. Today visitors encounter it as a gathering spot along the Seawall where people stop to watch the harbor traffic and take photographs.

The Seawall, a walking path that circles the park, runs directly past this site and is easy to reach on foot. A parking lot sits right in front for those arriving by car.

A memorial cross called the Chehalis Cross stands nearby and recalls the 1906 ship disaster when the MV Princess Victoria collided with the tug Chehalis. Visitors often overlook this marker even though it tells an important local maritime story.
