Nothing beats a summer's sunset than watching it along Spanish Banks. Just aim for Jericho Beach and walk along the beach until you find your perfect log.

The view stretches from the cruise ships on the horizon off to Alaska to the mountains to the city.

The atmosphere of couples and families just relaxing is unbeatable. Truly the best way to see the city's beauty.

The place to head for poseurs and hipsters, this is Vancouver’s Bondi. Canada’s largest sea-water pool is behind the beach – great for families.

The best place in North America to grab an all-over tan and partake in Amsterdam-style smoking.

Trail 6 from the University of British Columbia. Ask anybody how to get there. Locals, police, politicians, artists and visiting Americans all know how to get there.

Go for a run, rollerblade, cycle or simply meander along the seawall at Stanley Park, the 3rd largest urban park in North America. Take time out to see the totem poles and the view from Prospect Point (where in June gangs of graduates converge to drink champagne after their prom). You can spend the day walking, go for a horse drawn tour, take a swim from any of the beaches along the seawall, or visit the Aquarium. In the summer, Stanley Park hosts Theatre Under the Stars in Malkin Bowl, showcasing local talent in 2 musicals each year.
