Popularity is just a matter of opinion. In the case of Vancouver’s beaches though, we think you’ll agree with the choices on this list. People have long been drawn to Vancouver’s various beaches to relax, swim, sunbathe, connect with nature, or to just escape the hustle and bustle of the city. In this simple collection, you’ll see photos dating back more than 100 years, many featuring folks doing the same things we do to this day. With summer officially here, Vancouver’s numerous beaches will again be filled with tourists and locals alike, basking in the sunshine and swimming in classic West Coast waves.
