🌊 Kitsilano Beach: Known locally as “Kits,” this beach offers a large swimming area, volleyball courts, and rentals for kayaks, SUPs, and boats. It’s also home to the iconic Kitsilano Pool, an outdoor saltwater pool with stunning views of the mountains and the ocean.

🌊 Second Beach: Located within Stanley Park, Second Beach is a great spot for swimming and offers rentals for kayaks and SUPs. It’s also home to the iconic Stanley Park Pool, an outdoor freshwater pool.

🌊 False Creek: This inlet separates Vancouver from the city of Richmond. You can rent kayaks, pedal boats, or even electric boats at several locations around False Creek. Popular spots include Granville Island and Science World.

🌊 Jericho Beach: Located in the Point Grey neighborhood, Jericho Beach offers a large swimming area and rentals for sailboats, windsurfers, and kayaks. It’s also a popular spot for picnics!

Please note: Some of these locations may be too far from the city center to access by water. For example, Jericho Beach is located on the western side of Vancouver, making it difficult to reach by water without a boat. Always check the location and transportation options before planning your water activities in Vancouver.
