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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
