Jericho Beach

Located west of Kitsilano, this area consists of a sandy beach and a public park. Visitors go here for outdoor activities, including picnicking on the grassy lawns, walking around the pond, or engaging in water sports. The presence of a yacht club makes it a hub for sailing and kayaking.

Getting There

From Vancouver city centre, you can reach the beach via public transit (bus) or by car. The trip typically takes about 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point downtown.

Duration of Visit

Allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the park, walk along the shoreline, and relax on the lawns. Those participating in water sports may require a full day.

When to Visit

The beach is most active during the summer months. It can get crowded on weekends and during public holidays. For a quieter experience, visit on weekdays or during the early morning hours.
