Located west of Jericho Beach but not quite as far as Wreck Beach, Spanish Banks Beach Park is one of the more quieter, expansive beaches of Vancouver. Giving you the full view of downtown Vancouver from a distance, with a beautiful touch of the north shore mountains and the seemingly endless Pacific Ocean, this is a fabulous spot to come with your beloved for a romantic picnic or simply to kick back and hang out with friends. This is also a great choice if you have your furry friend with you, as there is a large off-leash dog area here. A concession and a bathroom to boot, Spanish Banks makes for a totally satisfying day at the beach.
