Lonely Planet review
Second Beach is an ever-busy, family-friendly area on the park's western side, with a large, grassy playground, a greasy-spoon snack bar that also serves ice cream, and the Stanley Park Pitch & Putt golf course. Its main attraction, though, is the seasonal outdoor swimming pool that sits on the waterfront overlooking the distant UBC peninsula.
Third Beach is recommended if you're looking for a more peaceful visit. A lovely sandy expanse with plenty of large logs to sit against, this is Vancouver's best sunset-viewing spot, hence the locals who drop by every summer evening with barbecues and coolers.
