Vancouver is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, which vary in terms of scenery and amenities. From beach volleyball to kayaking, Vancouver and Vancouver Island beaches also offer loads of opportunities for great outdoor activities.
This beach offers a serene experience for relaxing and unwinding. It is a perfect place for a romantic visit since it is located a little farther outside the city's hustle and bustle. It also offers you an opportunity to walk far out to the sea, typically in the mornings and early afternoons when the tides are low.
Technically, this is both a beach on the English Bay and outdoor pool. The saltwater pool is the longest outdoor pool in Canada. The water here, meanwhile, is known for its calm waves. Also called Kits, this beach offers stunning views of beautiful mountains and the Vancouver skyline. It also has plentiful water sports opportunities, such as kayaking and water aerobics.
This beach offers spectacular sunset views. With a low population spread, the Sunset beach is ideal for holidaymakers seeking quiet. This is a dog-friendly beach that allows you to bring your canine friend to the off-leash dog park. It's also an ideal spot for great outdoor activities such as beach volleyball as well as cycling, jogging or strolling along the seawall.
Located in the Vancouver Island community of Qualicum Beach, Parksville is ideal for travellers with children. Here you'll find swings, slides, beach volleyball courts, and a skate park. The beach is also beloved for its low tides, when the water recedes far into the Strait of Georgia, revealing an incredible, wide expanse of white sand, ideal for playing and sunbathing.
Also located on Vancouver Island, this rugged, scenic beach is ideal for hikers, thanks to ample trails through lush forests. From the sand and pebble beach itself, you can swim in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and even better, potentially spot migrating gray whales or resident orcas far off shore.
