Things To Do
White Rock Beach
This is a popular destination in this part of the lower mainland, especially in the summer. There are tons of restaurants and bars. When the tide is low, you can walk far out on to the beach and the water is warm so its great for swimming. It takes a few hours to walk all the way from one end to the other, making it a great place for a hike.
Fort Langley
Cozy little community closer - to the venue as well. Lots of little shops and restaurants.
Downtown Vancouver
Downtown Vancouver is full of attractions. English Bay is pictured above. We also recommend checking out Granville, Robson, Yaletown, and Gastown for nightlife, shopping, and restaurants.
Stanley Park
Stanley park is a huge public park near downtown. There is a seawall you can walk the full length of around the its edge with spectacular views of the mountains, ocean, and city.
Bowen Island
Bowen island is a 30 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe bay, accessible via transit from downtown Vancouver. Its a cozy community that makes a quiet daytrip. Lots of swimming and nature.
Granville Island
Large, charming public market and shopping district near downtown. Lot of art and crafts and other interesting shops, and some great restaurants. Accessible by short (5 min) ferry from downtown.
