Britannia Beach Scenic Lookout
A roadside pull-off on the Sea to Sky Highway at Britannia Beach with views over Howe Sound. Handy for a quick break, though some find the view partly blocked from the lot.
What visitors say
This is a highway pull-off on Highway 99 at Britannia Beach, overlooking the water of Howe Sound between Vancouver and Squamish. Visitors who like it talk about the colour of the water and the mountains across the sound, and one says they stop every time they drive the corridor.
It works best as a short break. There are benches and bins, the lot is paved, and it's clean. Not everyone is impressed with the view itself: one visitor rated it low because trees and the slope cut into the outlook, and another felt the better vantage point sits a little higher up where the public can't go. The Britannia Mine Museum and the small cluster of cafés at Britannia Beach are close by if you want to make more of the stop.
