Review from Amy T.
3/11/2012
It's wet, it's cold and it's dark... a typical day for Vancouver in Spring. Most of us are craving some sun and beach, so we decided to get a cheap fix at 6Pack Beach!
This is basically a warehouse with picnic tables, washrooms, BBQ (need to be used outside under a tent) and of course a beach! Well, there's no ocean, but just use your imagination.
I heard that you can book events here for beach tennis or soccer, but we decided on volleyball. You're allowed to bring your own food and drinks so organize to your heart's content! For alcoholic beverages, make sure you get a special events liquor license and you're good to go.
The place is warm enough for summer clothes and the sand feels wonderful between the toes. Everyone had a great time and we'll most likely be back.Listed in: Cold Damp Rain

Review from Edward L.
Came here for some beach volleyball fun. Had no idea this place existed until now!
This is located in the middle of nowhere (aka Mitchell Island). It's actually pretty tricky to get to as it's NOT directly on Mitchell. Instead, you have to slalom through a parking lot and around another large warehouse. It's hard to describe, so be sure to follow the sandwich boards placed strategically on the path. However, parking is plentiful thanks to the location.
This place really is a beach, and they did a really good job. 5 courts, and a ton of sand. I had my shoes off in no time.
It's a bit pricey at $15 a pop for drop in (usually 2030-closing), but from time to time it's worth it. The sand is clean, the equipment is pretty decent, and there are a TON of people. A few too many, in fact. On Wednesdays it's $10 a person, and on Thursdays, ladies play for free.
If you are in a small group (ie not enough for a full 6-person team) no sweat. The staff are good at arranging and plunking people into random teams. Make some new friends, spike a few balls. When you're not playing, there's also a ping pong table and some benches there for you to chill.
My only suggestion is that they should have some kind of locker or shelves put up. Everyone was piling their bags and shoes against the side of the playing area. Sand was getting everywhere.
Other than the price, I have no complaints at all. If volleyball is your thing, this is a great place to play in the winter.Listed in: 2012 Ed's Picks

6Pack Beach is an indoor beach facility where you can play beach volleyball, beach soccer, and beach tennis. I wasn't even aware that beach soccer and beach tennis existed until recently.
In addition to drop-in sports, they also rent out their facilities for parties and corporate events. They even have a BBQ for rent and offer catering. If you purchase a liquor license, you can serve alcohol at your event.
This place was the secret venue for a friend's 30th birthday. We had a blast. There were tables and benches to sit and chat with people, while others were able to play beach volleyball. The birthday girl arranged for a DJ who played on one side and people were able to dance in the sand.
It was a great night and good times were had by all.
