From Sea To Sky - What to do From Vancouver to Whistler
See All Lists
1. The Flying Beaver Bar
I'm definitely one to chase a view and this one is worth chasing. The building is half airport and half restaurant / pub. It's got a great ski lodge feel with wood beams and wide windows facing the Fraser River where float planes come and go before…More »
2. Hill's of Kerrisdale
Vancouver, BC V6M 1Z3
(604) 266-9177
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
At first sight (and smell) I wasn't all that thrilled. The entranceway is set up with some gaudy jewellry and the place seemed kind of musty and old. I wandered in anyway, liking the track that they were playing...a fav mix of The Knife by Mylo.…More »
3. Arbutus Coffee
This time I went in and first thing I noticed was the girl behind the counter and her big smile. It was a nice way to start my Saturday morning...an idyllic little coffee shop, a warm helpful smile and a perfect cup of coffee. Got beans to go too…More »

Arbutus Coffee is a sweet little place on a not so busy street. Great to wander in and grab a cup… Read more »
4. Cypress Community Garden
I can only dream I'll get my own little plot one day to celebrate my love of all living colour. For now I'm content to wander the tracks and trails breathing in the beauty left there for the community to enjoy.
5. The Boardroom Snowboard Shop
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2K4
(604) 985-9669
Category:
Sporting Goods
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
I could spend hours here, actually I think I did. So many sections: girls, guys, skate, sale, repair. I didn't find the snowboard jacket I was looking for but no one In Van seems to have it. We did find skate shoes, snowboard boots, a sick helmet…More »
6. Corduroy
Vancouver, BC V6J
(604) 733-0162
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
They picked the perfect name for this place. Corduroy makes you feel warm and cozy in every way. On a quiet night this is a great place to sink into with friends and share some tasty apps. While the wines are nothing to rave about the food is…More »
7. Semperviva Yoga
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 739-2087
Category:
Yoga
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I'd seen an ad for Semperviva Yoga on facebook, geared specifically to snowboarders, so I popped my head in when I happened to pass by. There was no specific class for those of us trying to find a way to work out our snow-less summertime angst but…More »
8. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Love how lively and colourful the market is. It relaxes and excites me, looking for rare treats, like sea asparagus, granville island teas, salts, smoked salmon pieces, BC mushrooms and more.
9. Blue Parrot Espresso Bar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 688-5127
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Even if it's grey outside this cafe is full of light, a perfect respite for a cup of morning java. I'm a fan of dark blends and this one didn't impress too much, nor did their bagel with microwaved egg for $7.50 but i'd gladly suck it up for a spot…More »
10. The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 669-9030
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The past two times I've been the food (swordfish & oysters), the service and the ambiance have been incredible. Bartender made a mean mojito too.
I rave about the experience of sitting on the top deck just under the Granville Bridge. It feels a…More »
11. El Kartel
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 683-2171
Categories:
Shoe Stores,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I'm gonna drop these kids a five just 'cause I like their style. Probably can't tell you anything that hasn't already been yelped - the staff is awesome, clothes are cool (great for girls ready to graduate from american apparel), fun tunes, perfect…More »
12. The Kaboom Box
Vancouver, BC V6B 2C9
(604) 788-6367
Categories:
Food Stands,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is a fast food place like no other, a big red street cart serving up fresh, local and wild fixings. Today is opening day at Granville and Robson, and while the menu may change, for now you can take your pick of a few sandwiches (like an oyster…More »
13. Lumbermen's Arch Cafe
Cute little spot near the aquarium to grab a bite. We ordered 2 pieces of fish and chips (for $9 or 10) to share while we sat at the nearby beach and watched the action. Considering this is fast food park-style I thought it was pretty decent and a…More »
14. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking
I was super impressed with BISK. They were accommodating and informative right off the bat. No problem booking me and 3 friends for a kayak lesson a few days in advance, they just required 50% down. Once we got there I was equally happy. Right…More »
15. Cat Lake
Showed up Saturday with no camp spot but met some cool new friends on the lake and were welcomed into their campground. Park Ranger gave us some hassle about it but we paid our $13 per car and he let it slide. The place was pretty packed, despite…More »
16. The Nest Restaurant
We were jonsing for breakfast and asked a couple on their bikes where to go in Brackendale. They said they always go to The Nest. I can see why. First they let us know that benny's are 2 for 1 all summer weekends. There were several kinds to…More »
17. Moguls Coffee House
I'll drop Moguls a five because it hit the spot 100%. We needed a quick bite for breakfast / brunch and got a super tasty brekkie wrap. I took a bunch of things to go too, and wasn't disappointed. Their beet and walnut cream wrap was an absolute…More »
18. Garibaldi Lift Company
Went to a snowboard flick premiere, listened to Mat the Alien kick off a wicked set, won two snowboard vids and my man a slick Signal jacket. Met some cool pros and some other kids. Everyone was enjoying the jam, only complaint was it seemed to…More »
19. Whistler Disc Golf Course
I coulda spent all day on this course...not just because it's a super long 27 hole course and I'm still kinda sucky at disc golf... but because I love the ruggedness of the surroundings. It's a trek to get there, even after you park, but so worth…More »
20. Katmandu Sports
Limited selection of gear but some kick-ass stuff nonetheless. Arbour boards rock and these guys know their wax. Will be bringing my gear here pre-season for a some love and hope to learn a thing or two from these pros about what wax works best…More »
21. Garfinkel's
Some dude we met pissing outside a party somehow convinced us to follow his crowd to this place and got us in for free. After a wicked DJ set at GLC I couldn't take watching the kids tweak out to Footloose. We did our circle through and walked out…More »
22. Crystal Lodge
Can't complain. Checked in at 2am and just needed a comfy bed to crash on. Nice soft pillows and duvet. Clean room albeit small, was right in the village though. Also caught the action as cops chased a black bear through the village right under…More »
