Message from Sebastian Breuninger

English Bay Beach, also known as First Beach, is a bustling spot located in downtown Vancouver along Beach Ave. It's the go-to place for beach lovers looking to soak up some sun and enjoy the stunning views of the ocean. With amenities like a concession stand, public washrooms, volleyball courts, and even kayak rentals, there's something for everyone at this popular beach. Plus, don't miss out on the annual Polar Bear Swim on New Year's Day – it's a tradition you won't want to miss!
