Another of Vancouver's many gorgeous beaches located adjacent to Vancouver's pretty West End highrise residential area. A perfect view of Vancouver's harbour, filled with freighters, yachts, sailboats and interesting craft. A perfect haven for bathersand picnicers, joggers and strollers, and sitters. Close to local restaurants, casual dining, and shops. Walking distance from downtown Vancouver, although there are plenty of busses...

Definitely a place to take visitors to Vancouver: palm trees, large clean beach full of beautiful bodies in the summer, seawall, great food and drinks closeby, incredible views of mountains, watch oil tankers and cruise ships sail by all day, fireworks at night.

Where the city meets the water. You will look out over the water and see ships waiting to come into port. Great place to just sit and watch people, eat ice cream or go for a stroll. You can swim here in the summer.

Take a walk along the sea wall. When you are done, have a bite to eat in a multitude of restaurants. Right in the heart of Vancouver[s Downtown core, this beautiful beach is near EVERYTHING including Stanley Park

Beautiful scenery along the ocean. Long walkway for strolling, blading or biking. Dogs, kids, picnickers enjoy the sunny days here. Great place to spend an afternoon.

A bit dirty and unsafe compared to the other beaches in Stanley Park. Third beach is a better choice for families.

This is the hub of the West End. Grab some food or a coffee and head to English Bay to sun tan, watch the people and relax in the sun!

This is one the the best places to people watch on a nice summer day. You'll see everything you could imagine, humanity-wise. We once counted how many languages we heard and we figured it was about 22.
