English Bay
You anchor off English Bay Beach, a wide sandy stretch that's the busiest beach in downtown Vancouver, backed by the West End neighbourhood. The setting is urban but surprisingly scenic, with the city skyline behind you and the North Shore mountains ahead. Stanley Park's seawall and Davie Village's restaurants and bars are a short walk away once you're ashore.
