English Bay Beach
Check out the beach volleyball courts! They're free to use, and it’s a fun way to meet locals or just have a laugh with your friends. I wish I had brought a ball!
I think you should grab some takeout from one of the nearby eateries and have a picnic on the beach! There's so many options, and you'll save a ton compared to dining in a restaurant.
Sunset Beach Park
I suggest checking the tide schedule online before heading out. There’s nothing worse than showing up for a beach day just to find it’s too rocky for swimming!
I think renting bikes is a fun way to explore the park and nearby areas. Just check out the bike rental spots; they can be a bit hidden but worth it!
My advice is to visit during sunset around 7-8 PM. The views are stunning, and it’s not as crowded as during mid-day.
Kitzilano Beach Park
Don't forget to bring your own snacks and drinks; the beachside cafes can be pricey, and it’s nice to lounge with some picnic goodies.
Check out the sunset around 8 PM if you're still there; it's absolutely stunning and makes for awesome photos!
Willows Beach
Parking can be a bit of a hassle during weekends, so I suggest arriving by 9 AM. Lots fill up fast, and the street parking can be tight.
Check the tide times before heading out! I didn't realize how different the beach can look, and the water comes in pretty close at high tide, which limits space.
