Sightseeing
If you walk north a couple blocks, you will find yourself on Vancouver’s Seawall – a beautiful walk that stretches from downtown all the way around Stanley park and over into Kitsilano. This is a wonderful place to walk, ride a bike or even roller blade. There are beautiful forest trails and a few wonderful beaches. I highly recommend checking out Third Beach, it’s my favorite.

Another 10 minutes south takes you over to Kitsilano, the real heart of Vancouver. Check out Kits beach in the summer, and walk up 4th Avenue to explore local shops. If you are on a bike, I recommend biking up to Spanish Banks beach if you are already in Kits.
