Lonely Planet review

Mega-popular Kits Beach faces English Bay and has a strong claim to being the city's favorite summer hangout. The wide, sandy expanse flanking the water here attracts buff Frisbee tossers and giggling volleyball players, as well as those who just like to preen while they're catching the rays.

The beach is fine for a dip, though serious swimmers should dive into the heated 137m Kitsilano Pool, one of the world's largest outdoor saltwater pools. For refreshments, check out the cafes and restaurants along Cornwall Ave or south up Yew St.
