Purple Starfish
A beautiful purple starfish on the rocks at the beach of Barnet Marine Park at low tide in Burnaby near Vancouver, BC, Canada
About this photo:We've been having such a beautiful summer and since it was so warm the last couple of weeks of August so we went to a small beach nearby with our 3 year old little girl. We went to Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby near Vancouver which is only about 10-15 minutes driving from our place. Ava, our daughter, loves the beach so we had no problem keeping her busy. She loves to look at rocks, throw rocks in the water, play with her little bucket and shovel in the sand...you name it. And I just enjoyed looking at her, the view and just enjoy this beautiful weather!
It's particularly beautiful at low tide as you are able to see purple starfish and the water seems to be so clear. In this photo I noticed to people enjoying a lovely afternoon kayaking trip on the calm waters of the Burrard Inlet.

Some information on Barnet Marine Park: Located alongside the Barnet Highway, this large park on Indian Arm was once a thriving village which supported the once prosperous lumber mill which was located there for most of the early 20th century. Now, all that remains are thousands of bricks along the western beaches, the remnants of the smoke stack and a concrete structure. The Park encompasses picnic tables, a trail along the water, docks and beaches. Located along the highway that shares its name, Barnet Marine Park is both a historical adventure and a great place to enjoy the day.
Barnet Marine Park, just off the Barnet Highway is a long and narrow Park sandwiched between the railway tracks and Indian Arm. A popular summer destination, visitors can enjoy lunch at one of the dozens of picnic tables strewn throughout the park or spread out a blanket and umbrella at the beaches while enjoying views of the fjord, tankers and other marine vessels sailing by. The nearby pier is popular with fishers and crabbers and the grassy lawn is also a welcome spot to sit and enjoy the park.
Barnet Marine Park is best known for its historic remnants that once were a small community and one of the largest lumber mills in the region. The skeleton of the scrap burner is now a recognized heritage site sitting on a dock where visitors can roam through the dilapidated brick structure and one of the mil structures still sits among picnic tables. Thousands of bricks from the old buildings create the shore along the western edge of the Park - most still falling from the remnants of the mill.
A tranquil Park with plenty to see and enjoy, Barnet Marine Park on the foreshores of Indian Arm in Burnaby is the city's only saltwater beach and is a popular and interesting place to explore all year round.
