 Kitsilano
If Vancouver is "Hollywood North," then Vancouver's Kitsilano Beach - or "Kits
Beach" to the locals - is our Venice Beach. Buff and bronzed bodies are sure to
make their rounds, but don't be wary, you're sure to fit in somewhere amidst the
mix of joggers, stroller-pushing families, sun-worshippers and your everyday
loungers. Grassy patches above the tide line are perfect for tossing the disc,
the tennis courts are always popular, and the beach attracts volleyball players
from all over the city.
And don't forget Kits Pool where kids and adults can splash away the day in
an outdoor, heated salt-water pool with a wrap-around view of the city, ocean
and mountains. It's almost three times the size of an Olympic pool.
Kits Beach
Definitely a happening
place geared for the younger set (teens to thirties)
with a lovely outlook spanning from open bay, to North
Shore mountains to Stanley Park. There are lots of
activities here with something for everyone.
On the Seaside Seawall system Concession stands, The
Watermark on Kits Beach Restaurant and Washroom
facilities. This is a great place to people watch,
roller blade bike or walk. Kits beach is accessible by a
20 minute walk over the Burrard Street Bridge from
Downtown Vancouver.
Kits Beach features a huge heated salt water
swimming pool built on the waters edge.
