What To Do: Outdoors
If outdoor recreation is part of your vacation plan, the North Shore is the place to find it: Take a stroll along the waterfront or urban trails; hike or bike gorgeous mountain tracks; try your luck with a rod and reel at one of the area’s fresh or saltwater fishing destinations; windsurf at Ambleside; scuba dive off Whytecliff Park; Paddle tranquil Indian Arm; or hit the links on one of the community’s golf courses.
With Vancouver's North Shore communities nestled between the Coast Mountains and the shores of English Bay, Burrard Inlet, and Indian Arm, nature and boundless outdoor adventure permeates everyday life.
We've got awe-inspiring, eye-popping attractions like the 450-foot (137m) Capilano Suspension Bridge that sways 230 feet (70m) above the Capilano River and leads to the Treetops Adventure where you can wander through a forest of Douglas firs 100 feet (30m) above the forest floor.
More? A swaying tram takes skiers and sightseers up Grouse Mountain affording stunning, jaw-dropping views of the Vancouver area.
