Plages

West End · Vancouver

Dix kilomètres de seawall, une forêt ancienne et la boucle la plus connue de la ville.

Waterfront · White Rock

Une longue jetée de bois dans Semiahmoo Bay — le rocher éponyme, la promenade, et un coucher de soleil qui arrête la circulation.

Harrison Hot Springs · Harrison

A long glacial lake with a sandy village beach, paddle boats, and mountains falling straight into the water.

Joffre Lakes Provincial Park · Pemberton

Three turquoise lakes in a hanging valley north of Pemberton — a permit hike, and worth the paperwork.

A warm swimming lake in a mountain bowl south of Chilliwack — the Fraser Valley’s summer weekend.

Anmore · Port Coquitlam

A long forest reservoir north of the Tri-Cities — swimming beaches, a floating bridge, and ridge trails.

Downtown · New Westminster

A long pier park over the Fraser, with swings, lookouts, and working river traffic.

Open dyke, cherry trees in spring, and a wind that kite-flyers treat as a feature.

The swimming and picnic lake inside Golden Ears Provincial Park — mountains on both sides of the water.

West Vancouver’s town beach — seawall, pitch-and-putt, and downtown sitting across Burrard Inlet.

Lost Lake · Whistler

A forest lake a few minutes from the village — swim in summer, ski-tour the trails in winter.

A marine protected area with emerald water, picnic lawns, and a tiny island at low tide.
