An activity-lover's idyll, Jericho is also great if you just want to putter along the beach, clamber over driftwood logs and catch stunning panoramic vistas of downtown Vancouver sandwiched between the water and the looming North Shore mountains. It's also popular with sunset fans. Check out the nearby Hastings Mill Store Museum. Built in Gastown in 1865, this ancient structure is Vancouver's oldest surviving building. It was floated over here in the 1930s and is now home to pioneer-era and First Nations exhibits.
