Kitsilano Beach

Kitsilano Beach

Kitsilano Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Vancouver, especially in the warm summer months. Located at the north edge of the Kitsilano neighbourhood, the beach faces out onto Burrard Inlet (geographical coordinates coord|49|16|26|N|123|9|18.4|W|). The beach is home to the longest swimming pool in Canada, the salt-water outdoor Kitsilano Pool, operated by the Vancouver Park Board and open during the summer.

Toward the northern edge of the beach is a playground and a number of beach volleyball courts. In the local Indigenous Sḵwxwú7mesh language, it is called xwupxpay'em, which translates to "having red cedar".

In 2005 the old bath house structure was demolished and in its place a new, modern structure was built featuring the Watermark restaurant on top, featuring one of the best views in the city.
