This has always been one of my favourite beaches in Vancouver. This is where they hold the summer fireworks every year. Located Down at the bottom of Davie st, or you car drive around Stanley park and get here. Palm trees are planted everywhere Awsome views of the rocks when the tide is out the ocean and all the large ships. Yes there lots of logs to sit on all down the beach (HUGE) washrooms. There are large bronze status of all these guys making weird hand gestures and faces on the other side of the street, and a hole bunch of flag polls with diffrent flags. The Cactus club is right near the beach and other food places available. There is A paved walkway that goes all the way along the beach and into Stanley park. This beach is a gem 💎 definitely worth checking out 💯💯

Beautiful view of the ocean. Nice path near the beach which leads to Stanley park. Area with lot's of stores, coffee houses and restaurants. There is a unique statue near by.

Very nice view and wonderful, beautiful scenery and an awesome walk. Some animals will come up to you like one fella did. Please respect the wildlife and the areas surrounding them.

We like to go there. We went many times already since we moved here because it was my husband favorite beach when he used to live in that area. We like to rent bicycles and go to Stanly park then back to take a rest at the beach. We just had a wonderful night watched fireworks so gorgeous sunset. We always got lucky to find parking spot so no problem for us. Perfect beach to relaxing for the whole family

Awesome beach to go on a walk or enjoy on the logs or benches. There's plenty of area too! Plenty of places to get food regardless of the day. Definitely recommend seeing the sunset here!

I visited English Bay for the first time last summer. This is my favourite beach so far. There is a lot of sand, sea shells, seaweed and the water is cristal clear. I also met a latin lady who was selling delicious food from her colorful truck and I had a nice conversation with her. Very friendly and welcoming! I recommend this place 100%!

Come here during the summer and you'll never wanna leave. Absolutely gorgeous omg. Love the vibe of the place and the bustling activity! There's a dedicated bike track that lets you commute to this place!

What better than listening to the ocean and enjoying the sunshine at English Bay Beach! Whether you want to go for a jog, meditate or do yoga on the beach, or goof around and let the mind wander … the options are limitless! A must go if visiting downtown Vancouver.

Very busy beach with a gorgeous sunset. Loads of people sit on tree trunks and play loud music. It’s not a relaxing spot but nice to see people having fun, playing volleyball etc.

My first Polar bear swim, nice beach. Carry your sandals if you're not get used to walk through rocky sand. But everything is fine😊

Visit this beach two times. One of the place to visit in Vancouver. Collect shells, sit on wood and just enjoy the sound of waves, sunlight and forgot the worries of the life. Love this place 🌅❤️

Beautiful day. Lots of wind

There have been many summer nights where friends and I have sat on the beach and watched a firework shows. We always find that is it is relaxing and we never want to leave. The beach is kept very clean and it is fun to spend an afternoon soaking up the sun. I can’t wait to summer as this will be one of my first stops.

My favorite stroll right now is to walk from English Bay to Coal Harbor (Harbour) at night. English Bay is a signature Vancouver thing. Not the most beautiful or the cleanest, but it’s a staple bay in the Vancouver area—one of those places you just have to cross of your list. And if interested, there are lots of restaurants and coffee shops on the nearby Denman St, not the fanciest in town but still good!

Best place to have exercise this is walking distance in downtown. This is also the place where they have fireworks during new year here. Must visit 😂😂

Fun day on the beach the waves are really high neat stuff

Cool place in the winter to introduce your child to a canadian goose.

Beautiful place to relax and watch the hustle bustle. It is a great place for everyone - friends, family, kids and little doggos ( on leash ). If you fancy a dip in these hot days - well, look no further. I love to come here and read. Sometimes, I come here just watching people hurriedly coming and going, trying to imagine what their life is like, what their worries and happiness are tied to. Nice place to frequent if you live downtown.

Golden sunset is spectacular at English Bay! Huge stretch of sand beach to relax and stroll after a great meal at the nearby eateries. Lots of different restaurants from around the world like Greek, Persian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and so much more!

Nice beach for a morning or evening stroll. There is a nice park with laughing statues. Stanley Park is 5-10 mins walking distance. There are many nice restaurants lined on both sides of the street right at English Bay beach. Very lively place.

Great place to have lunch by the water or just lounge in the sun. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of people, so perfect if you like people watching. Just watch out for the pesky seagulls.

Great place if you wanna go on a walk by the beach. They have logs you can sit on as well and there's a Starbucks nearby too. At the moment they have a stranded part of a ship which is a pretty cool view, they do have security though so you can't come too close to it. Recommend you go here as often as possible!

Cold weather but still great place to go for a walk after dinner... squeeze in as much time to be out and about... to get some fresh air.. and enjoy some great spots in the area.

One the greatest places on earth. Beautiful scenery, shops, and wide variety of cuisines. Beach is enjoyed all year round. Catch some fireworks during a holiday and you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended

Keep walking towards Stanley Park and you will find this gem 🌺🌷 There is a new beach that is only accessible during low tide. If you are lucky you will get to experience the live music and dance. You can also watch the sunset from here.

Love the sunsets , ❤️ always. One of the prettiest sunsets in Canada , specially when there are some clouds around. A must visit when you may be in Vancouver or BC in general. Great variety of restaurants for formal or casual dining / take out. Vegi and Halal shops abound. Budget at least couple of hours for a long walk and sit at the beach 🏖 to soak in the sun set. Visiting this place for past 49 years and not tired of it at all. Stay blessed and Enjoy it.

Visited following day after Honda celebration of lights fireworks. Impressive that beach side was so clean while Vancouver Pride festival going on this long weekend! Saw flower garden patches were protected by small metal gates.

The best place for sunset. It is a scenic spot in downtown Vancouver. Nice beach to relax for soaking and sunbathing. You can walk, bike, play, and swim there. It is a place for everyone in the middle of downtown.

Stunning spot anytime of year for a walk around the sea wall. Don’t miss the sculptures and view points looking out towards the barges with the city skyline in the background. English Bay Beach itself is spacious with a good balance of sand, rocks to sit on, and benches. There are several restaurants and food kiosks (especially in the summer months). There are also ample public restrooms along the seawall, and close to the beach.

Loved the place. It was so clean and a perfect spot for family picnic. You can spend your day their with family and friends. The waves of water were so melodious. Water activities can be done here like kayaking etc.

Went for the very first time and I really loved it. There are lot of food options nearby. Went through public transport which is quite cheap and bus stop is 4 mins walking distance from beach.

My daughter and I went here for a weekend stroll since the weather was so nice for a long walk. It always feels great to come here 😀😃

It was nice.

Home sweet home

good lovely

Close to the place I lived. Amazing place

My favourite beach to visit in Vancouver. The palm trees and walking path by the beach make it a joy to walk.

soothing and calm experience.

Great views!

So much good

One picture of our town!

I guess everything in british columbia should get 5stars but english bay is the most beautiful place to go if you like running or biking at the water side. Truly heaven place, fresh air and no doubt alot of restaurant around the corner must go to.

Beautiful

Beautiful view, especially beautiful sunsets

Sunset Beach says it all..

Beautiful

Lovely place to hang out and be with friends or family.

Always crowded. It's a mess on Fridays. Incredible sumset views tho.

Love it here.

Wonderful views*

One of the best spots in Vancouver for a sunset chill

Absolutely packed on the weekends and evenings throughout summer. If you can, try and come during the day on a weekday to beat the crowds. Beautiful area with lots to see and do! Great all year round.

A Great place to ride your bike. Very very good

This place is wonderful, especially, in the summer. It gives you a warm vibe just by seating on the benches and watching all the Vancouverites and Tourists enjoy the view and the sun. So nice to stroll here for exercise morning or afternoon. Very accessible to many shops. One of the best to visit here in Vancouver.

Lovely clean beach, great place to swim. Lots of amenities including toilets and showers, on a busy street with lots of stores and restaurants. Great all time of year and the best place to watch the sunset in downtown.

Beautiful place to walk around. However many people smoke Marijuana there all the time

Today I had a perfect moment to relax. The sun was shining, people were passing by, and I was sitting and observing everything aroud me. Love it! Nature is very powerful.

Pretty city lights and sea side views.

My favorite summer and winter. It is where you find the spirit of Vancouver

Gorgeous but busy.

magnifique pour le couché de soleil !

Busy place, but that's for a reason.

As always...a Trip well worth taking

Feels like San Francisco mixed with Los Angeles. It has it's own personality of course. Just the architecture and sandy Beach feels like this mix.

when its sunny its a great beach

Dirty sand, dirty water. One of the worst beaches in BC, if not the worst

Lovely place, the only beach in Vancouver covered with sand!

Lovely and beautiful beach at the heart of downtown Vancouver with excellent connection to Stanley Park.

It was my first visit....it was the best experience

(Translated by Google) It is a place to go for a walk by the sea and in the forest .... very pleasant and relaxing to fill up on oxygen and energy !!! (Original) C'est une place pour aller se promener au bord de la mer et en forêt.... très plaisant et relaxant pour faire le plein d'oxygène et énergie!!!

Nice and clean. Love the yellow lilies.

Fun out door place clean lots of shops around

Beautiful spot to get some fresh air. Awesome view of the ships anchored. A must go!

The view is fantastic, it's a perfect place to play with the family

Great places in city.it comes to me feel happy 😊

Place to be when...

Enjoyed the walk

Beautiful walking path along the ocean with palm trees and mountain views!

Nice place to have some coffee

Beautiful, fun eclectic!

(Translated by Google) The first bath of the year in the cold waters (Original) O primeiro banho do ano nas geladas aguas

Beautiful area for a walk .

One of our favourite family beaches

Amazing beach in Vancouver. Good place for all events

It's one of the most beautiful places in the Vancouver. Always clean and it always has space when it's very busy.

One of the best viewpoint to see sunset in Vancouver

(Translated by Google) romance (Original) 낭만

It was nice quiet and chilly

Best Beach in Vancouver. Most of the beaches in Vancouver doesn't give you that sense of an actual beach, but English Bay can give you an experience closer to a real beach !

Beautiful beach, alot of amazinf food placed and shops round.

This is a good place to go with family/friends for outing, stroll/cycle around sea wall, get some quick meals or just sit idle looking at the water. But, this is not a typical sand beach where you can enjoy a swim. I recommend going there during sunset on sunny days.

+ Really nice beach !! We really enjoyed it. Perfect to watch the sunset. Restaurant and animation, we also rent bikes around. Super location ! - The grass up to the beach is not super clean.

Best place to watch sunsets. One of Vancouver's best beaches. Sunnier than most parts too. Wonderful views of the northwest shore, Stanley Park and the Vancouver city skyline. Lots of space to barbecue with the family and friends. I saw quite a few Beach Volleyball nets too. Very active Beach.

One of the best and busiest beach in Vancouver. The location is great, close to stanley park, and lots of restaurants nearby. Lots of events happen here. Easy access by transit.

Ugh, I just love love love it here. One of my favourite places in Vancouver. Walking along the sea wall is so insanely beautiful. A wide path leads you all along the ocean. I walked for over an hour without needing to stop (I turned around but there was so much path still ahead), lots of space to walk around slower moving people, and they have biking lanes once you’re away from the main beach areas. Do yourself a favour - plan a few hours out for here. You will not regret it 🤍

We love to walk our dog along English Bay on a nice evening, except weekends when it's very busy. The sunset view never lets me down. Parking might be a problem, so we always park farther away and walk there. If you like to walk your dog, jog, or simply enjoy the sunset, this is a great place for sure.

Great spot for family fun beach walking bird watching and sunset photography. Very busy, parking is nearly impossible to find, cleanness alright consider the number of visitors daily.

I had a great experience checking this place out ( Saturday / End of September). Refreshing to walk by the water then took the boat to Granville Island. The place isn't over crowded like Stanley Park.

A really great place to enjoy a sunset and some good vibes. I just wish people would clean up after themselves and leave the beach how they found it. The police and park rangers are also very serious about removing people from the beach after dark, with groups of them on ATV's, boats and on foot directing people to leave.

Super fun area, bring a towel to sit on the sand :) Lots of restaurants nearby. Cactus club cafe is right on the beach. Not tonnes of parking available.

In the heart of Vancouver Downtown you find this most refreshing beach which has its own calm in the chaos. Always happening with people playing around, enjoying the weekend lunch with family on the green patches across the beach or just watching the ever changing picturesque views of the ocean. The long beach not only offers the thoughtful walks but also the most blissful sunsets.

It's a cool place for enjoying open water and having a pleasant walk along the beach. Amazing contrast between harbor and urban downtown sceneries. The proximity to Denman St's eating places makes the chillaxin on the beach even more enjoyable 😀. The mid summer firework festivals are fun and very spectacular. Great place 🥰

Literally the best sunset I have ever seen in my life. Most romantic way to watch the day end. Tons of restaurants nearby or an LC if you want to grab some drinks. Water is cold as all get out in Sept but a therapeutic dip to practice your deep breathing and meditation. Cannot believe this sunset.

The beach and sand itself is so so but the view is amazing. Very cool vibe during the summer. Lots of restaurants, cafes and ice cream shops nearby. Highly recommended to go for a run here. The nearby bella gelato is a must try after a hot day on the beach

This is my most favourite Beach in Vancouver. Always try to reach early in the morning when there is less crowd and you can peacefully enjoy the beach. Mind you the water is freezing but you can try your nerves if you are up for it😆 Fantastic place to spend the day an hour any amount of time you have here. One of the fun ways is to scoot in summer all the way from the Stanley park sea wall or Canada place and enjoy the breathtaking views of the sea 🌊 We always take the transit here so no worries about parking but if you reach early there is ample parking around the neighbourhood. Loads of small food joints to restaurants bustling with energy and joy. Great pubs for you to hang out with friends. It give you a perfect holiday vibe without travelling far away. There is something for everyone here. A must see when in Vancouver.

Wonderful place to walk or sit & enjoy the view. Wonder about the tankers sitting anchored offshore. During the summer great place to swim & suntan, ambiance of gulls, cars, waves merging into collage of sounds.

An amazing place to visit with your friends/family! The environment is lively & perfect to relax or have an eventful evening! The sunsets are must-watch here. No need to worry about transport since buses are constantly available at a walking distance. Don’t forget your shades!

What a place! Beautiful sunsets, you have the beach, water, mountains in one view! Cannot ask for more within city limits💯 A lot of fancy restaurants and bar in the area too! Great place for walks and chilling!

One of my favorite places to spend some time in Vancouver!!! The seawall at English bay is such a relaxing place for a stroll along the ocean. Very therapeutic and the scenery spectacular!!!!

I came at this side of Vancouver for some work. I was totally new in this city. I didn't expect to see this beauty has been waiting for me. I sat on one of the benches. It was a breezy afternoon, but I wanted to drown in nature so I braved the cold winds. It was worth it. The leaves of the trees were calming enough to relieve my stress. I enjoyed seeing people with their pets walking along. The beaming sunlight touched my heart in a positive way. I will be back for sure and will take my daughter with me. 🌞☘️

English Bay never fails to impress me. Every time I visit, it greets me with a new and captivating look that keeps me coming back for more. The constant evolution of this place ensures that each visit is a unique and memorable experience. Whether it’s the stunning sunsets, the vibrant atmosphere, or the mesmerizing views, English Bay offers something fresh and exciting every time. It’s a place that never grows repetitive, always delighting me with its ever-changing charm.

English bay has a beautiful coast and is part of Vancouver. It has a unique and very large space where a large crowd can gather. Last night I went to English Bay for the fireworks of the Philippines and it was great in every way. Except for the toilets that were placed there, because it was not logical at all in relation to the crowd and there were hundreds of queues behind the toilets. Of course, this case I mentioned is related to the times when a big event happens in English bay, otherwise everything is fine. I will post some videos of the Philippines fireworks last night and Mexico fireworks last Wednesday.

Lovely water front, nice street food and dedicated cycling lanes. A great place to visit. Amazing fire works in summer.

Absolutely beautiful sandy beach with so much to do. From a bike/walking path along it to volley ball. The water was warm and perfect for a dip, It was my first time there so it was qute nice to find such a beautiful beach to hang out with friends and watch an amazing sunset. The are good trucks if you get hungry. The only negative I could see was not that many bathrooms but I didn't actually go foo far down to really know how many there are and there was not a line so there could be many more than I saw. 1 up though for seeing a family of Geese with their babies ❤️

Wonderful spot in the summer. If you are downtown Vancouver you have to come for the sunset. Great people watching spot. Lots of good places around to grab a meal or snack. Can't miss!

Fantastic place to make a beach day with plenty of great restaurants nearby!! Beach is quite large so finding a spot with room is pretty easy and they do events here occasionally too.

Beautiful view of the nature. My favorite spot to watch sunset.The bad thing is the smell of weed in the evening. Yet, the location is worth a visit and you will not regret. The benches can be fully occupied in that prime time, so bringing a mattres and sitting on a sand is a great alternatives.

Great place to walk and chill, particularly in good weather. Grab a fabulous lemonade and ice cream too

Best beach in Vancouver to enjoy the fireworks. Awesome beach to go on a walk or watch sunset . Plenty of places to get food regardless of the day. Definitely recommend seeing the sunset here!

Very lovely beach, calm and beautiful. Would recommend going for a morning walk. Beach and view is just amazing.

One of the best beaches in Vancouver. You can enjoy the attractive environment. Enjoy your weekend with your family and friends.

Long extended beautiful beach walk is possible here . Its along the downtown. You have a lot of tourist spots in and around english bay beach .
