Imagine this – sun is shining, it’s lunch time and you’re on your way out of the office for your lunch break. Where do you go?

If you were a Vancouverite, the answer would be the beach.

English Bay lies right by the high-rise buildings in the west end of the city, so you would actually have to stop yourself from gazing at the ocean all day and posting too many #blessed pics on Instagram.

Close by, there’s also Kits Beach, named one of the top 10 city beaches in the world by National Geographic.

It’s also the sportiest in town with 10 tennis courts and two basketball courts that can be used for free, two city parks and the largest saltwater swimming pool in the country.

Bikinis at the ready… Go!
