Lonely Planet review

A chain of small, sandy beaches running along the north side of False Creek, this is where West Enders come to hang out and catch some rays, many of them lounging on the grassy banks overlooking the waterfront. The walking, cycling and blading trail here - it links to the Stanley Park seawall trail if you want extend your trek - is always packed in summer, often with members of the local gay community checking each other out.

Swimmers will enjoy the Vancouver Aquatic Centre, and you can also catch a miniferry to Granville Island here if you fancy puttering around the shops and cafes.
