After not seeing the ocean for 6 months our Vancouver agenda mainly consisted of beach combing, esplanade walks and spray parks by the ocean!

Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia. We stayed just out of the city in West Vancouver for a couple of nights, only a short walk from the beach.

The Seaview Walk in West Vancouver was an easy waterfront walk to do with kids in tow. The walk had many information boards along the way about the history of the local area. We passed an info board identifying Atkinson Point in the distance, which the kids thought was pretty cool! The halfway point of this walk, John Lawson Park, had an awesome spray park, picnic area and pier!

We loved staying in West Vancouver, there were lots of boutique shops and markets running around every corner over the summer!

We took a drive through the city and took in some sightseeing of local landmarks.

We explored Stanley Park, which was a huge recreational area with bike rentals, many playgrounds, a spray park, aquarium, horse and carriage rides. We were most excited about the abundance of squirrels!

Thanks for checking in!
