If you search enough, you’ll be able to find the Kitsilano Beach Swing (we couldn’t find it), and you can feel like you’re in Hawaii."

"Known to locals as Kits or Kits Beach, Kitsilano Beach is where you will find a lot of residents in the summertime. There’s ample park space around the beach for picnics, plus volleyball nets and Kitsilano Pool. The 137m (450ft) outdoor pool is Vancouver’s only saltwater swimming pool, open from mid-May to mid-September."

"Kitsilano Beach: An excellent place to relax with scenic views of Vancouver. You can also swim here when the weather is warm."

"There are three distinct parts to Spanish Banks – Spanish Banks East, West and Extension – and its name commemorates the time when the English and Spanish met on its shores in 1792. Spanish Banks East and West have the same amenities, but West is a designated quiet beach. Meanwhile, the Extension is a kiteboarding launch zone."

"If you prefer simple over fancy and pretty over expensive then Jericho Beach is the best place to be at. Home to the annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the beach is very beautiful and suitable for swimming, windsurfing and sailing. But if you are not in the mood for an adventure then you can simply take a stroll or rejuvenate and indulge in some recreational activities such as volleyball and tennis and have the time of your life."

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"
