Description

Begin your tour at Kitsilano Beach, affectionately known as “Kits” to locals. This iconic spot blends laid-back beach vibes with urban energy and offers stunning views of the city skyline and North Shore mountains. It's home to beach volleyball courts and the famous Kits Pool, Canada’s longest outdoor saltwater pool. Next, head to the quieter and more serene Jericho Beach, just a short drive away. Known for its peaceful ambiance and panoramic views of downtown and the water, it’s a favorite for kayakers, artists, and families. This area also holds historical significance — once a military outpost with roots predating modern Vancouver. A few steps from Jericho, arrive at Spanish Banks, renowned for its wide-open shorelines and impressive low tides. Unlike the city’s more bustling beaches, this one feels like a retreat. At low tide, you can walk far into the bay — a unique opportunity to quite literally stroll on the ocean floor. Time to relax and recharge with a fresh lunch at Nuba Restaurant in Kitsilano. After lunch, visit English Bay, where the vibrancy of city life meets the tranquility of the sea. Expect lively crowds, street performers, and perhaps even a paddleboard yoga class on the water. It’s one of Vancouver’s most iconic and energetic beach spots. Then, venture into Stanley Park’s lush forest to discover Third Beach — a hidden gem beloved by locals. Surrounded by towering trees and open water, it’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature and breathe in the peaceful Pacific air. To end your journey, cross the iconic Lions Gate Bridge into West Vancouver and arrive at Ambleside Beach. This charming waterfront destination offers beautiful mountain views, coastal art installations, and a relaxed community feel. It’s the ideal place to reflect and unwind before heading back.
