Horseshoe Bay, on the road from Vancouver to Whistler, looks over the most stunning part of the North Shore. Great place for a day trip if you combine it with a short ferry ride to Bowen Island.
Get on the little passenger ferry across False Creek to visit Granville Island. Former industrial buidlings have been converted into galleries, shops, craft workshops and restaurants. There is also a fantastic farmer's market and a brewery.
South Shore under Granville Street Bridge, catch the False Creek Ferry or Aquabus;
