Due to COVID-19, this trail is now one way heading east where the gravel trail starts near the dog offleash park. The Shoreline trail in Port Moody is a popular urban route used by locals and tourists to hike, jog and walk along the marsh and sandy flats at the eastern end of the Burrard Inlet.

The Shoreline trail offers a variety of terrain including an elevated boardwalk over the marsh, gravel paths and forest floor. Because of it's unique location, the trail also offers views of Mount Seymour, the Burrard Inlet, Eagle Ridge and Burnaby Mountain.

The trailhead is at the Rocky Point Pier at the north end of Rocky Point Park and heads east, following the shoreline to the north end of the inlet. It loops back onto another trail at the site of the old Lion Lumber Company at Old Orchard Park.

As the trail is very popular and Brewery Row is nearby, parking is very difficult to find. However, the trail is within a short walking distance from both the Inlet Centre and Moody Centre SkyTrain Stations. Restrooms are available at the park facilities at Rocky Point Park. Some areas of the trail are bike friendly. There is an alternate and wider route on the west end of the the Shoreline trail if you plan to bike and wish to avoid the narrow areas near Rocky Point.
