Kitsilano Beach, or "Kits Beach" as we locals call it, is the quintessential Vancouver summer hangout. You'll find a lively stretch of sandy shore with stunning views of the downtown skyline and the North Shore mountains. It's more than just a place to sunbathe; you can join a game of beach volleyball, take a dip in the ocean, or swim in the massive, heated saltwater pool, which is a local treasure. Sunsets here are epic (followed by a drink at Batch patio).
