Nature's skyscrapers lie just beyond man's. Groomed parks give way to lush wilderness. And city sidewalks become sandy beaches. Even in the heart of the city, nature is right around the corner.
A 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver takes you to a place where peace and quiet reign. Picturesque fishing villages and local artist communities dot the Sunshine Coast. Dive, sail, or just explore places that are as intriguing as their names. Halfmoon Bay. Chatterbox Falls. Porpoise Bay Provincial Park. Smugglers Cove Marine Park.
30 minutes from Vancouver is the Sea to Sky Highway 99, one of the world’s most scenic drives. All the more glorious in the beauty of winter; experience the exhilaration of the snow-capped mountains from up close! Take it from West Vancouver to Squamish, Canada’s windsurfing capital. Or beyond to Whistler, voted the number one ski resort in North America.
Near Vancouver lie the lands carved by the Fraser River. From the vast delta with its beaches, mudflats, and wetlands to the canyons of the Coast Mountains. The mighty Fraser River in winter, truly awe-inspiring.
