Summer on the North Shore is all about getting outside, slowing down and spending time by the water. From calm coves to sandy stretches, there are plenty of local spots to enjoy the season close to home.
Check out a few of our favourite beaches to visit this summer:
🏖️ Cates Park
A spacious waterfront park with beaches, picnic areas and beautiful views across Burrard Inlet.
🏖️ Ambleside Beach
A West Vancouver favourite with a long sandy shoreline, seawall access and views of the Lions Gate Bridge.
🏖️ Waterfront Park
While there is no sand, this is a central North Vancouver shoreline spot with plenty of open green space to lay down and enjoy the views of Downtown Vancouver.
🏖️ Dundarave Beach
A peaceful West Vancouver shoreline with soft sand, calm waters and stunning sunset views.
With so many incredible waterfront spaces across the North Shore, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy summer close to home. Which spot will you be heading to first?
