Delta-Tsawwassen - Beach Grove Rambles Exchange Walk

11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Thursday, June 12, 2025

This walk goes through the very old community of Beach Grove in Tsawwassen, South Delta. Beach Grove originated as a cottage community before the George Massey tunnel was built. In the 1930’s and 1940’s, it was considered a remote location – you had to take a ferry to get there! We will pass by some of the original cottages, as well as walk a scenic dyke, some mud flats and briefly visit Boundary Bay Regional Park.    The community has grown a lot since the “olden days” but provides a unique charm with lots of shady pathways on those hot summer days! We will also see the award-winning “Flandez House” (complete with rooftop piano) – an unexpected and stunning piece of modern architecture amid our “rambling” route!

This is an Exchange Walk with Victoria Pathfinders and the Bastion City Wanderers. Because these folks will all be arriving by ferry, the start time will be 11:00 a.m.

Distance: 6k/10k

Trail Rating: 1B/2B

*** Registration starts 30 minutes prior to start time. All walkers must register no later than 5 minutes prior to start time. ***
