Awesome restaurant with lots of micro brews to choose from. The views are spectacular. This spot is in the former Olympic Village. Great place to start or finish a walk around the False Creek sea wall

Great place to bring beach chairs and work on your tan. Brisk, but great swimming at high tide. Next to Kits, our favorite beach. 7 minute drive away.

Great spot to rent stand-up paddles etc. There's also a beach front restaurant with amazing views. The food is expensive for burgs and natchos but so worth going for a beer and taking in the views.

We highly recommend renting bikes and touring the Stanley Park Sea wall. It's simply the best way to see this fabulous city. Lots of beaches, great people watching. Do it! http://www.spokesbicyclere

Main Street is where you go to buy vinyl records, unique or vintage clothing items and there's countless great hipster spots and micro breweries. Anything north of King Edward is worth a stroll.
