UpdateNov2020: 1001 Steps has been closed all year due Covid-19, despite research that clearly shows outside transmission is very rare. In 3500 super-spreader events, only 1or2 were outdoors. (Covid is airborne and levels increase in enclosed spaces.) Please UPVOTE if you support a petition requesting that essential nature access routes be opened. eg At a minimum, signage could say: due Covid-19, doing laps is no longer allowed, these steps are for beach access. That would be cautious but reasonable. Leaving the steps locked indefinitely is NOT reasonable.

my husband and his friend + baby in a backpack went here to do a grouse grind style trail/steps. it wasn't a disappointment for them to find it too easy. not at all 1001 steps towards the beach. you can see the beach shoreline really near, not at all like grouse grind, more like the one white stairways near deer lake. i agree with another reviewer saying it's more like 230 steps. any kid/adult can do it. i am 34months pregnant and they said i could have probably walked down easily. then probably took more time to go back up. the entrance area does not have dedicated parking. so pls be mindful of where you park since it's a neighborhood area. lots of dogs walk by here as well and kids too since the playground is also near. coffee shops are also near here. i would definitely come back here again to actually do it when when im still pregnant..for fun. hehe. enjoy!

One of the rare neighbourhood beach access points, although it will take you a bit to get there. First the stairs and then, flanked by endless blackberry bushes, a walk along the railway. Late July, early August is berry season so bring a container. The staircase is absolutely amazingly build with numerous places to rest and take a breath on your way up. Especially during sunset time this place shows it’s magic with glistening ocean mirroring the sunlight and illuminating your walk down and up. For opening hours know that they are staggered and change with the length of day, the park gates at the bottom of the street close at: Feb 12 - Apr 15 at 8pm Apr 16 - Aug 25 at 10pm Aug 27 - Oct 15 at 8pm Oct 16 - Feb 11 at 6pm. There is a sign at the gate so make sure to verify the times.

nice stairway which leads to the railway by the sea. If you walk through a tunnel not far away from the bottom of this stairway, you will reach a beach. it's very beautiful place to take photos. Photographing during sunset is highly recommended! there's very limited street parking around the entrance.

Nice and short work but could burn lots of calories. Not 1001 stairs only 230 something. Ran up and down three times. Beautiful sunset though. The tunnel at the end of suprised us.

Getting exercise while enjoying this beautiful hidden gem. One of Vancouver's best beaches. Sunnier than most parts too. Wonderful views of the shore. Lots of space for family and friends. Very active Beach.

Wow thousand and one steps! That sounds like a fun little work out and approximately 1/3 the steps of the grouse grind. But no they are only around 220 steps. But it’s a nice sturdy wooden structure and looks to be well maintained and leads down to a trail which parallels the railroad tracks until there’s a graffiti painted tunnel going underneath to a very small beach at high tide. We were there around high tide and there wasn’t much walking space. But it looks like it could be a nice beach at lower tide with plenty of space to go walk.

Cool spot to head down to the beach. But not in fact actually 1001 steps. I believe there are 284 in all. At the bottom of the steps, keep going down the trail to the right for 100 or 200 metres. There is a neat little tunnel that goes under the train tracks to the beach. From what I hear, if you keep going along the beach, there is a clothing optional area of the beach a little further on. Very limited parking.

Nice walk and steps. Sign gives open hours that are listed clearly by month. Not as many steps as was promised and no I didn't count them. Not a hard climb and no benches or places to sit. Butt can sit on big rocks on the shore line when the tide is out and don't know what's left when tide comes in. Was my first time.

One of our fave spots to check out a sunset and explore. Just beware of all the steps it takes to get down to the water. What goes down must come up! All kidding aside it’s a great spot to explore the rocky shoreline with a family or take in a quiet picnic with your significant other.

The stairs were not that strenous, and it’s like a forrest to beach experience. Amazing! And oh! It’s pet friendly.

So i had come here before but i never actually went down the steps, now i did and i thought it would be worse. I thought it would be hard to get up but it was actually pretty easy. The tunnel and beach at the end are so cool. I recommend you come here on a sunny or rainy day since it’s very pretty either way

First time in here, beautiful place. The best time for photos and videos is half hour before sunset. Trains occasionally passed by, so be careful and prepare some ear plugs if you have sensitive ears. Video was shot on iPhone15pm.

Good for cardio workout for all ages, amazing ocean view and wildlife park.Don't get locked in hours are Feb 12-Apr 15= 8PM, Apr 16-Aug 26= 10PM, Aug 27- Oct 15= 8PM, Oct 16- Feb11=6PM, Parking is limited, just parked at the Kwomais Point Park (13 Ave & 128 St) then walked down to 15A Ave to the 1001 steps.

It’s a nice little possibility to take a walk. Once you are down the stairs you will be able to reach the beach through a small tunnel. The area has quite a number of eagles 🦅 to watch, too.

If you would like a quick cardio this is a great place. You get to exercise while enjoying a beautiful scenery. Always great during the Spring to Summer time. Great place to bring the kids too.

If you are in the area this is a place to check out. I wouldn't go out of my way to see flight of stair leading to the beach. The beach area itself is beautiful and scenic. A little tunnel with some graffiti art nothing to call home about.

Actually it's between 100-200 steps. Some locals run the steps (up and down) 10 times. I'm not one of them. But... I'd rather just walk down and enjoy the view.

Only 270 steps, not 1001

We went down the Christopherson Steps, then walked on the rocky beach, and went up the 1001 Steps, it was a great work out! By the way, this beach is clothing optional too (we didn't know until we got there haha).

Not sure if 1001 steps but nice long stairway to very rocky beach. Tide was in so dont know if there is sand. No washroom or any amenities. Entry to staircase is in a nice neighborhood and not a lot of parking on street.

Oh its always a delight to climb these stairs or walk on the nearby trail . N during quarantine nothing could have been better. Did one evening stair climbing, strolling on the beach full of pebbles and watched the long train passing by refreshing childhood memories. This place is usually damp n could be wet if it has rained but today was nothing of that sort. Walked the trail n enjoyed a spectacular sight looking down at ocean and then 1001 steps climb up and down. Its good IIHT workout but just to do it faster.

Nice gated park near the ocean with gorgeous views. There are a lot of eagles here. The actual number of steps is 235 if I am not wrong. There is no parking here.

If you are looking for a quiet beach views and sounds this place is ideal. I just don't know if you can swim there. The stairs are well-maintained.

See the bald eagles perched on rocks looking for prey.

Great place for a natural workout and enjoy some outdoor air. Awesome view of the ocean along the way too

Just walk down the steps and take in the beauty on a tranquil beach. Simply stunning:)

Excellent spot to do rope bondage

Wind was up high. Saw a bunch of people surfing. Nice spot for a walk. 235ish actual steps for the record!

I love this place and go more for the quiet tranquility of the rocky beach rather than the stairs. Wonderful view. Parking is extremely minimal. Best to have a backup plan, just in case.

it is like a neighborhood park . we need to pass all residential homes . it is very hard to find a parking lot. but the beach is so beautiful

Don't let the name fool you, 234 steps down. 468 Steps total back to the top. It's pretty mild. Great views. Very scenic.

Very nice walk to the beach on a sunny day

Best park in the area, a surreal descent into nature and eventually a beach. I love to use the stairs to do cardio laps, great place to do exercise in the shade.

We all had fun here. The kids loved the artwork on the walls and access to the water.

A hidden gem in South Surrey. Nice and quiet place to go for a walk. The downside is it is hard to find a parking spot since it’s in the quiet upscale neighborhood of South Surrey.

beautiful view, lots of bugs, small area to walk,it is not friendly for parking

Great place for a walk. 1001 steps?- that's nothin 😅

This is a super nice spot. The steps are a great work out (about 235 steps). Apparently it's about 1001 steps down the stairs, down the path & up the stairs at the other end. There's beach access & it's pretty bushy if you're looking for a nature walk.

A nice short trail in South Surrey/White Rock area, although it’s not 1001 steps I believe lol

Went there with my mom 👩 💕 ❤️ she loved it. I went there as a kid. I took some photos of the artwork. Most enjoyed 😉 ✨️

Gorgeous place for photo shoots, runs, or meditative walks. Anytime of the year except maybe winter might be too dangerous with ice and all!

Easy to go down the steps and tough up. A good place to see the sunset. No parking space.

Stairs closed for covid 😭

Gates shut, graffiti everywhere and local kids drinking hole I felt unsafe and with my 5 yr olds and there was even human waste in the trees and on the beach, wouldn't bother when crescent Beach is much nicer

The name is misleading, but great spot for cardio, the view is amazing, and it leads down to a quiet beach area

Effective immediately 1001 Steps (12500 Block of 15A Ave) and Christopherson Steps (2409 Christopherson Rd) are closed to all public use. The closures are in effect until further notice.

Lots of stairs...great view....lots of stairs.

See for yourselves! Awesome

Cute. BTW, (spoiler) it is not 1000 steps, it is.. somewhat less :)

Lovely walk down to rocky beach

Great place for relaxing and exercising. Parking can be a hassle

Great

If you want to get in shape and the weather allows, this is a great place to get a stair climbing workout

Nice place to check out. Not muck parking around tho.

it's a wonderful place to visit

Great stair workout

Private

Takes you to a pretty good view.

Great workout and fantastic scenery

5stars but 252steps

Kicked my arse pretty bad 💁

Really nice stairs to the beach.

Fun but it's hard work coming back up

Great place to get cardio done. Great views once you go down to the tunnel with the graffiti on it.

Worth trying!

Magical. Saw some awesome wildlife, including: A real-life OWL (see pic#) & an otter!! Just be sure you exit the park before they close the gates! We left around 11pm and had to climb over the super high fence/gate! The park hours are posted at the entrance. Different times for different seasons!

Nice work out!

Great outdoor cardio depending how many times you do them. Great for all levels even my 3 year old niece walked them. The beach is rewarding at the end it's scenic and quiet but rocky so wear runners

(Translated by Google) The stairs are just 230 steps. Some people climbed up and down to do exercise, but when they walked down the stairs and walked through a small path, a tunnel came out, and after passing through the tunnel, the sea expanded. It's a great place for a picnic when the weather is nice. In August, blackberries were everywhere. (Original) 階段は230段ちょっと。登り降りして運動がわりにしている人もいましたが、階段を降りて小径を歩いて抜けるとトンネルが出て来て、そのトンネルを抜けると海が広がります。天気の良い日はピクニックにも最適な場所です。8月がブラックベリーがあちこちになっていました。

Quiet with a nice view
