Fairy Tale Lane - West Vancouver
by mom
Activity:
West Vancouver has a
picture-perfect seawall you can walk along to your heart's content--but
after you've done it one hundred times, you might want to see something
different. This is how my husband and I discovered Fairy Tale Lane. We
parked our car at Dundarave Beach like we
always did, and were about to
set off towards the Lion's Gate Bridge, like we always did, when we at
the last minute decided to walkin the opposite direction towards
Horeshoe Bay. You have to walk along the road instead of a seawall, so
you lose sight of the ocean at times. What you get to look at instead
of
water are some pretty amazing homes. My husband was struck by
the peacefulness and charm of the area, and thereby named it Fairy
Tale Lane. It's your imagination coming true before your very eyes.
We followed the lanes for about forty minutes and then turned back. Of
course, it was a little tough pulling into our own driveway, after we
saw such beautiful homes, but we got over it. As an aside, a little
further along Marine Drive (towards Horseshoe Bay), is another
show-stopper neighbourhood called Piccadilly South. It also has the Caulfied Rocks, perfect for diving
off on a hot summer's day.
