Vancouver's answer to Venice Beach! Lots of bros on this beach. Paddle boards and kayaks are rented from here in the summer months. This is also a beautiful spot for a sunset walk. The Boathouse Restaurant is a fantastic seafood restaurant, which overlooks Kits Beach.

This is a free version of the Capilano Suspension Bridge. A nice hike in the rainforest, and a gorgeous green river. Look for cliff jumpers at the 30 Foot Pool.

Vancouver's very excellent clothing-optional beach! It's tough to get to but infinitely worth it. **Be prepared for 420 stairs through the forest down to the beach, and the same amount back up at the end of the day.** There's an anarchist economy thriving down there, you really only need to arrive with a credit card and sunscreen.

My favourite Vancouver coffee shop. Contemporary architecture meets a high-end coffee experience - the building is a damn flower. There's another worthwhile location in Gastown but the building is just a building.

Veggie food but fancier. Ideal brunch spot. Be warned: this is a gathering spot for rich white people. Despite the eerie lack of diversity the food is excellent and it's just a 20 minute walk from here.
