Beach Volleyball on Spanish Banks
Beach volleyball on Spanish Banks has become a Vancouver summer tradition. Where else can you find such a beautiful setting?
You have the backdrop of the north-shore mountains and Stanley Park. The Vancouver downtown high-rises reflect the sunset in the evening. And the sound of the ocean waves lapping on the sandy shore remind you that you're in paradise.
This is Vancouver!

Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival was established way back in 1990. This local festival gives Vancouver residents and tourists affordable, accessible Shakespearean productions of the finest quality. The festival is a fully professional, not-for-profit theatre company, Bard on the Beach now engages thirty actors each season as well as a team of exceptional directors, designers, and technicians; it is also supported by more than 200 volunteers.

Top Five Vancouver Beaches Revealed
Just imagine standing on silky warm sand, the ocean waves lapping at your feet. You look around and see tall, majestic snow-capped mountains cradling the city.
SUNSET BEACH
Sunset Beach is very protected as it lies at the entrance to False Creek. As you lie back and enjoy the warmth of the sun you watch yachts and sailboats pass you by.
KITSILANO BEACH
Kit's Beach as the locals call it is nestled close to beautiful scenic Cornwall Street. Bring a picnic lunch or visit restaurants like the Local Public Eatery or The Boathouse.
Enjoy the ocean breeze from the beach or from Kit's Pool.
ENGLISH BAY BEACH
English Bay is one of the most picturesque places in the city of Vancouver. English Bay Beach is the most popular beach in the summer for sunbathing, swimming or people watching.
In the summer you'll find the downtown "condo-crowd" catching some rays or just reading a good book on the beach.
SPANISH BANKS BEACH
Spanish Banks is located further west from Vancouver's downtown core. This long beach has room for volleyball, sunbathers and boaters alike. The views of the mountains and the city are awesome from here.
Although Spanish Banks neighbours Wreck Beach you'll have to wear a bathing suit no matter how skimpy it is.
WRECK BEACH
Wreck beach is a clothing optional beach, located on the outskirts of the University of British Columbia.
Seems as though all that education makes people want to run around in their birthday suits. Just a word to the wise, all the pretty people don't always sunbathe at this beach.

Solitude in Vancouver
Vancouver is a very busy city. But there are times when one can find solitude. This photo is taken at Spanish Banks beach.
