What makes it 86% Couple-Friendly: Wide sand, sunset mountain views, picnic lawns, and the seawall create easy romance, and pool or free volleyball add shared fun; summer crowds and limited lighting after dark drop the score slightly.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Allows time for a beach picnic, seawall stroll, and a pool dip without rushing
Sunset Picnic on the Sand:
Spread a blanket on the wide sandy shore and watch the sun set behind the North Shore Mountains
Tip: Bring your own wine and snacks; secure a spot by arriving 30 minutes before sunset
Seawall Walk or Cycle:
Follow the paved path along English Bay for city and mountain vistas
Tip: Rent city bikes or e-bikes nearby; book online to lock in your preferred time slot
Heated Saltwater Pool Swim:
Swim laps or float together in the 137 m pool with mountain views
Tip: Enter late May to mid-September; skip crowds by swimming before 9 am or after 7 pm
Coffee or Ice Cream on West 4th:
Stroll up to local cafés or artisanal ice cream shops after the beach
Tip: Try Rain or Shine for craft flavours; most spots have outdoor seating facing the park

We had a really happy relaxing time at the beach for our first time at this beach. It's a nice beach but it's really hard to find parking because it is a hot day so it's pretty crowded on the beach but it was ok for us. The kids had fun that is the most important thing for us.

The vibrant colors of the sky as the sun dipped below the horizon were simply mesmerizing. The view was unparalleled, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and serene ambiance. What made the experience even more special was the s...

Lovelyyyyy, probably in summer I can get better pictures, but for now I only got these photos, still I liked going there. My friends told me to go to play basketball as there were a court, instead of that I decided to take them pictures (they are good at basketball, I am not 🥲) It's also good to take a walk with friends, play with dogs, or exercise by yourself. If you are not afraid of cold, you...

Popular busy beach with restrooms, snack shack, pool (entrance fee) and some parking. Beautiful views. Family friendly. Lots of grass behind the beach for picnics. Some picnic tables and benches. Playground area.

The temperature was great. Not too crowded although more people started showing up at about 4pm. Everyone seemed to be in a positive mood, or maybe it was just me. Sat in my beach chair, napped, read my book, talked to my friend, watched people, and enjoyed the day. Summer is on the way!!!
Pool is open late May to mid-September. In summer, plan your picnic after 7 pm to avoid daytime crowds. Bring a windbreaker in spring or fall for cool waterfront breezes.
