1. Third Beach
Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2
Canada
Category:
Beaches
Neighbourhood: West End
There are only a few Vancouver beaches that make my heart sing and this is one of them. There is nothing more glorious then watching the sun set over the North Shore and Island mountains, while drinking adult beverages with good or new friends. It's…More »
2. Jericho Beach
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 »
3. Spanish Banks
Vancouver, BC V6T 1A1
Canada
+1-604-224-7941
Category:
Beaches
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I am trying to find out if there is a beach in Vancouver that actually sucks..? I don't think i can find one.
Spanish banks is an awesome place because it's far enough away from the city and on some days you can be the only person out there. Other…More »
4. Quarry Rock
This a great year round hike for all levels. It will elevate your heart rate but you will see people of all ages and sizes on this well marked trail. I recall it taking around 25 minutes each way. A minute drive from Deep Cove, it's a great…More »
5. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking
Bowen Island, BC V0N 1G0
Canada
+1-604-947-9266
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Rafting/Kayaking
This is great little operation and a must do when over on Bowen Island. It is also a 2 for 1 in the Entertainment Book so you can save some cash. A bunch of my friends when out for 2 hour paddle. We fought the current the whole way, and eventually…More »
6. Whistler Blackcomb
I have been coming to this mountain since i have been born. Thrown into Kids ski camp and progressed into one of the first people to snowboard on this mountain, to teaching, and downhill racing. You can do it all if you live in or near Whistler!
It…More »
7. Aquabus
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
+1-604-689-5858
Categories:
Boating,
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Who doesn't love the Aquabus? Cute, quick, and efficient.. i often forget about these rainbow coloured beauties. Why go up and around, and over a bridge when these guys can take you directly across the Harbour? They even have Cyclebus's now but i…More »
8. The Flying Beaver Bar
As a commercial pilot who worked out of South Terminal forever, you can imagine why this would be my favorite pub.. BUT even when i am not working this is still my favorite pub in the Vancouver region. And yes it's full of local pilots, mtc…More »
9. BC Ferries
The next and only best thing to setting to the Beautiful Vancouver islands (or mainland) other then flying.
Depending on what your doing, i reccommend walking on if you can to save the costs of taking a car. If needed you can usually rent a car at…More »
10. Vancouver Folk Music Festival Society
Vancouver, BC V6B 1X4
Canada
+1-604-893-8363
Category:
Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I cannot believe that i have never gone to this Festival before. It's HUGE! and it's amazing. You don't even really have to like Folk music because there are 6 stages with different kinds of music playing at all the of them. That being said there was…More »
11. Go Fish Ocean Emporium
Vancouver, BC V6J 1E8
Canada
+1-604-730-5040
Categories:
Seafood,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Fresh, delicious, yummy flavors, great location, friendly service, great selections.. is there anything wrong with this place? Nope.. well if i want to be picky there wasn't enough seating for the masses that come here.
I am a severly picky fish eater…More »
12. Chilliwack River Rafting
Fraser Valley E, BC V4Z 1A7
Canada
+1-800-410-7238
Category:
Rafting/Kayaking
This was my second time rafting, and i left with a big smile. You arrive at the ranch where you can camp if you want, and you are fed chili, salads and a desert. You are wrangled and given your outfit. If i had one complaint it would be over the…More »
13. Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre
North Vancouver, BC V7G 2T1
Canada
+1-604-929-2268
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Tours,
Rafting/Kayaking
Neighbourhood: Deep Cove
Tuesday night races anyone? For $25 you can get a double and enter a race (which we came in last), that is totally fun and gives your kayak trip a bit of an edge. Prizes at the end which at least one of my friends seemed to walk away with. Plus you…More »
14. Queen Elizabeth Park
In an attempt to find some quiet space to wander in the downtown area i decided to venture here on a date. Wander we did but never off the cement path. So much cement for a park! I was looking for those photo op places and really couldn't find one. I…More »
15. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
+1-604-666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
This is the perfect place to visit or take out of town guests too. Take an aquabus, grab some treats, take some photos, sit outside and watch the seagulls get chased away by small children. There is a large assortment of food here, all in the…More »
16. Wreck Beach
I almost don't want to write about how awesome this beach is because once i write on here about it, i find that somehow 5 star yelp locations get sort of ruined. Hopefully the 480 steps, and the fact that it's on the edge of UBC may deter you. Oh and…More »
