Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver BC


Kitsilano beach in Vancouver BC

High energy Kitsilano is Vancouver’s all-action beach. Young, vibrant and sporty, it’s great for people watching, posing and working on your game be it tennis, basketball, volleyball or Frisbee.

Few people brave the chilly waters but there’s the saltwater Kitsilano Pool if you really fancy a dip. At 137.5m, it’s the longest in Canada so come prepared for a real work-out if you want to do laps.

This city beach has lots of sand, is within walking distance of Kitsilano’s funky cafes and restaurants and is a great spot for watching the sunset over the Pacific.  

The toned and the tanned from across Vancouver come to Kitsilano Beach to strut their stuff but mere mortals are still allowed entry.

Hours: Open all year round.

Directions & map: The beach is situated at the northern end of Kitsilano and is accessed via Cornwall Avenue. Buses take 10 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
