Jericho beach almost makes me feel like i am in a smaller city.. it's kind of tucked away from Spanish Banks and Kits in it's own little alcove. Situated between 2 sailing clubs it's still a stunning spot to catch some sunshine and go for a dip. What…More »

Tucked away on the edge of UBC off of Marine Drive, is a wonderful place for botanists to get lost in. I got a groupon deal on this one which included the canopy walk, which scared the crap out of me. The canopy did not feel sturdy, and i felt like i…More »
