English Bay Beach

This popular West End beach is a favorite spot where locals come to kick back, relax, swim and soak up some vitamin D. Located right at the end of Davie Street and Denman Street, English Bay Beach is easily accessible by bus, foot and Seawall. Driving may prove to be slightly challenging on busy days during the summer months as it can be difficult to find a parking spot. If you've got a bike handy, skip the car and take the Seawall. The scenic path will lead you directly to the beach and you don't have to worry about parking. Packing a picnic is one of the best ways to enjoy lunch at the beach. If you don't have the time or resources, there are a number of cafes, take out restaurants and food stands either on or close to the beach.
