I was affraid it could be noisy but definitely nice place to be. Walking along the beach in the morning is really pleasant and palm trees really make you feel on holiday :) Nice sushi take-away few metres from there, on Davie Street, perfect for pic-nic!!!Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travellers360Vancouver, Canada117 contributionsUnique place to visit being the only nude beach in the lower mainland and right on the site of the largest university in the province. Great atmosphere till the cops roll around to kick people off the beach at 10pm. Otherwise, if you got time or around UBC looking for somewhere to lounge around with or without clothes, this is the spot.Written June 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MekkTekkVancouver55 contributionsOur absolute favorite beach area in Vancouver for relaxing and water activities.
This beach is huge and stretches almost 2 km when including Locarno beach and Jericho Sailing Centre. You can always find space to stretch out. There is lots of parking and it's free, but it does fill up on warm weekends.
The lowest tide is great for skim boarding, finding little crabs, walking across the massive tidal flats.
Swimming, SUP, Kayaking when water is in. There is some wind/kite surfing but wind is not reliable.
Lots of biking, walking trails on beach and into the adjacent UBC forest.
Beach volleyball courts and lots of space for sports.
Or just relax, picnic/grill or read a book.
There really is something for everyone here.

Try to be there at low tide to see and find shells and crabs.Written July 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel25346533585891 contributionsEnglish Bay Beach is a treat. Compared to other big city beaches, English Bay Beach is truly Extraordinary. The water, of course, is from The Pacific Ocean. There can be quite substantial water level variations. People are friendly and there are plenty of places to get treats.Written April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael MVancouver, Canada3,498 contributionsLocarno Beach is located on the west side of Jericho Park and gorgeous views of Downtown Vancouver and the North Shore Mountains draw your immediate attention while you wander this very sandy beach..this New Year’s Day found a very snowy destination for us..there were Polar Bear Swim participants and scads of Vancouverites wading through the ankle deep snow…Written January 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris DNew Westminster, Canada3,330 contributionsThe heated pool gets most of the attention, but there is more to see and do. In addition to barbecue pits parking, volleyball, etc., the hiker/biker will appreciate the public washrooms and the concession stand.Written June 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
